Artificial Intelligence and Smart Systems in Process Engineering Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue compiles the valuable research results of scientists who have contributed to the 5th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Smart Technologies and Engineering Applications (INVENT-2025), 25–27 April 2025, Bologna, Italy (https://inventconference.com/). The Special Issue presented here covers the latest developments in Artificial Intelligence, smart/intelligent systems, and engineering applications in terms of both technological and social/human challenges and will provide a broad overview of their progress and future prospects. Since research in the field is constantly evolving, it aims to provide an excellent integration of research and collective results to solve many of today's problems and share future developments and results.

This Special Issue brings together the results of research on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, Smart Energy Systems, Automation and Optimization, Robotics, IoT, Sensors, Smart Telecommunication Networks and Systems, Biomedical Systems and Engineering Innovations, Data Science and Analytics, Cybersecurity, Smart Cities, Human–Computer Interactions, User Experience Design, Blockchain Applications in Industry, Sustainable Production with Smart Technologies, VR, AR, ER, Data Processing with Sensors, Evolutionary Computations (Genetic Algorithms, Evolution Strategies, Particle Swarm Optimization, etc.), Intelligent Processing of Electromagnetic and Acoustic Waves, and GAI in Education, Law, and similar topics. A platform is provided here where the latest developments, research results, projects, and industrial experiences in the fields can be shared by researchers working in both academia and industry. Authors are invited to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting articles showcasing their work in the relevant fields.
