Innovation, Communication and Engineering, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The 12th International Conference on Applied System Innovation 2026 (ICASI 2026) will be held in Kyoto, Japan, from April 14 to 17, 2026, and the International Conference on Innovation, Communication, and Engineering 2026 (ICICE 2026) will be held in November 2026. These conferences will provide a unified communication platform for a wide range of topics. The Topic of “Innovation, Communication and Engineering” is not only expected to select excellent papers presented at ICICE 2026 and ICASI 2026, but also to welcome other submissions related to novel materials, electronics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and biomedical engineering. We welcome studies from both academic and practical engineering fields that involve systematic technological materialization through scientific principles and engineering designs. Technological innovation by electrical/mechanical engineering includes IT-based intelligent mechanical systems, mechanics and design innovations, and applied materials in nanosciences and nanotechnology. These new technologies, which implant intelligence in machine systems, are an interdisciplinary area combining conventional mechanical technology and new information technology. The main goal of this Topic is to discover new scientific knowledge relevant to IT-based intelligent mechanical systems, mechanics and design innovations, and applied materials in nanosciences and nanotechnology. We invite investigators interested in applied system innovation to contribute original research articles to this Topic. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Intelligent electronic/electrical engineering, including novel materials, device fabrication, IC design, and related applications;
• Intelligent mechanical manufacturing systems;
• Mathematical problems on mechanical system designs;
• Smart electromechanical system analysis and designs;
• Optical system design and optoelectronic engineering;
• Sustainability, green technology, and biomedical technology;
• Computer-aided methods for electrical/mechanical design procedures and manufacturing;
• Artificial intelligence, computers, virtual reality, entertainment, and human–machine interactions;
• Internet technology impacts on mechanical system innovation and IoTs;
• Machine diagnostics and reliability;
• Information systems, computer networking, and the Internet;
