Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
(1) Introduction, including scientific background and highlighting the importance of this research area.
Intelligent mining is the current direction of the high-production and efficient development of coal mines, just as rock formation control constitutes the core of safe mining in coal mines. With the increase in mining intensity and mining depth at the present, the geological conditions of mines tend to be complicated. Intelligent mining can realize the automatic operation of mines with complex conditions, reduce labor intensity and improve the safety of mining through intelligent identification, intelligent perception and intelligent control. Intelligent identification technology, equipment and systems are the keys to realizing intelligence. The movement of rock strata is the inducement of various disasters in the mine, such as mine pressure, water inrush, gas migration, etc. How to effectively control the movement of rock strata is a necessary factor to ensure the safe mining of the mine and can also be the guarantee to realize intelligent mine.
(2) Aim of the Special issue and how the subject relates to the journal scope.
The intelligent level can improve the production efficiency of mines, the strata control technology can ensure the safe production of mines, and the intelligent and strata control technology can realize the sustainable mining of mines.
(3) Suggest themes.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Intelligent monitoring technology;
- Intelligent monitoring equipment;
- Intelligent identification system;
- Artificial intelligence algorithm;
- Intelligent control system;
- The law of strata movement;
- Pre-splitting of strata movement;
- Backfilling mining;
- Rock movement hazard.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
