Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Engineering sciences are widely applied in smart and intelligent systems. Smart energy systems, smart cities, smart power grids, and smart homes are among these examples that are widely related to engineering sciences. The increasing development of these systems requires the effective use of emerging technologies and the use of algorithms and optimal designs.
In this Special Issue, we will aim to study and analyze new engineering methods and approaches in smart cities in terms of theory and application. Furthermore, we intend to examine the latest ideas and new findings presented in engineering related to urban smartness in a practical way. In this regard, this Special Issue will focus on application of engineering in smart energy systems and smart cities. Supporting topics such as theory of control, analysis, measurement, and the simulation and performance assessment of intelligent structures also will be covered.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Applications of engineering in smart cities;
- Smart energy systems;
- Cyber-physical systems in smart cities;
- Resilient architectures in smart cities;
- Smart grids, micro-grids and smart homes;
- Different topologies of smart energy systems;
- Application of artificial neural network (ANN) and machine learning (ML) in smart cities;
- Simulation and performance assessment of smart cities;
- Smart cities architecture and urbanization;
- Optimization and algorithms in smart cities
Selected and extended version of the papers submitted to the 6th International Conference on Engineering Sciences (ICES 2023) (http://icesci.org/index.php) will be published in this special issue "New Engineering Approaches in Smart Cities, Theory and Application".

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Smart Cities is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
