• ISSN: 0952-1976
• 5 Year impact factor: 7.4
• Impact factor: 7.5

A journal of IFAC, the International Federation of Automatic Control Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing a major role in the fourth industrial revolution and we are seeing a lot of evolution in various machine learning methodologies. AI techniques are widely used by the practicing engineer to solve a whole range of hitherto intractable problems. This journal provides an international forum for rapid publication of work describing the practical application of AI methods in all branches of engineering. Submitted papers should report some novel aspects of AI used for a real world engineering application and also validated using some public data sets for easy replicability of the research results.Papers which do not respect the 4 following conditions will be desk-rejected without being sent to reviewers:Papers on new metaphor-based metaheuristics are very rarely accepted by EAAI (see details on this in the guide online).The abstract should clearly specify which is the contribution in AI and which is the application in engineering.The use of undefined acronyms in the title and in the abstract is forbidden.The papers must be formatted in single-column format.Focal points of the journal include, but are not limited to innovative applications of:Internet–of–things and cyber-physical systemsIntelligent transportation systems & smart vehiclesBig data analytics, understanding complex networksNeural networks, fuzzy systems, neuro-fuzzy systemsDeep learning and real world applicationsSelf-organizing, emerging or bio-inspired systemGlobal optimization, Meta-heuristics and their applications: Evolutionary Algorithms, swarm intelligence, nature and biologically inspired meta-heuristics, etc.Architectures, algorithms and techniques for distributed AI systems, including multi-agent based control and holonic controlDecision-support systemsAspects of reasoning: abductive, case-based, model-based, non-monotonic, incomplete, progressive and approximate reasoningApplications of chaos theory and fractalsReal-time intelligent automation, and their associated supporting methodologies and techniques, including control theory and industrial informaticsKnowledge processing, knowledge elicitation and acquisition, knowledge representation, knowledge compaction, knowledge bases, expert systemsPerception, e.g. image processing, pattern recognition, vision systems, tactile systems, speech recognition and synthesisAspects of software engineering, e.g. intelligent programming environments, verification and validation of AI-based software, software and hardware architectures for the real-time use of AI techniques, safety and reliabilityIntelligent fault detection, fault analysis, diagnostics and monitoringIndustrial experiences in the application of the above techniques, e.g. case studies or benchmarking exercisesRoboticsEngineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence publishes:Survey papers/tutorialsContributed papers — detailed expositions of new research or applicationsCase studies or software reviews — evaluative and descriptive reviews of existing available AI software systems, discussing the experience gained and lessons learnt from using or developing AI systems for engineering applicationsIFAC EAAI Forum — problems arising from engineering practice, needing to be solved by somebody; solutions to problems discussed in this forum or elsewhere; critiques of a position or claim found in the literatureThe Editors of Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence wish to inform authors that this journal will not publish papers that propose "novel" metaphor-based metaheuristics, unless the authors: present their method using the normal, standard optimization terminology;show that the new method brings useful and novel concepts to the field;motivate the use of the metaphor on a sound, scientific basis;present a fair comparison with other state-of-the-art methods using state-of-the-art practices for benchmarking algorithms.For more details on the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), visit their home page at http://www.ifac-control.orgSoftware publicationWe invite you to convert your open source software into an additional journal publication in Software Impacts, a multi-disciplinary open access journal.

Expert Systems with Applications

• ISSN: 0957-4174
• 5 Year impact factor: 7.6
• Impact factor: 7.5

Expert Systems With Applications is a refereed international journal whose focus is on exchanging information relating to expert and intelligent systems applied in industry, government, and universities worldwide. The thrust of the journal is to publish original papers dealing with the design, development, testing, implementation, and/or management of expert and intelligent systems, and also to provide practical guidelines in the development and management of these systems. The journal will publish papers in expert and intelligent systems technology and application in the areas of, but not limited to: finance, accounting, engineering, marketing, auditing, law, procurement and contracting, project management, risk assessment, information management, information retrieval, crisis management, stock trading, strategic management, network management, telecommunications, space education, intelligent front ends, intelligent database management systems, medicine, chemistry, human resources management, human capital, business, production management, archaeology, economics and energy. Papers in multi-agent systems, knowledge management, neural networks, knowledge discovery, data and text mining, multimedia mining, and genetic algorithms will also be published in the journal. The journal no longer considers papers that contain applications to military/defense systems.Papers detailing algorithms which repurpose existing concepts within the framework of metaphors inspired by various systems and processes, such as natural, technical, or social ones are discouraged as this can hinder effective algorithm comparisons and scientific advancement. Submissions from this field are required to convincingly demonstrate their contribution to the field in order to be considered for further evaluation. Authors are urged to present their methods with clarity, employing standard optimization terminology, and to provide compelling explanations for how their components are adapted to specific problem-solving contexts. The emphasis is on genuine innovation rather than the renaming of existing concepts.Natural metaphor articles - new nature-inspired proposals detailed in papers must provide formal, mathematically grounded explanations for how they differ from established methods and the use of metaphors as superficial embellishments is discouraged.Software PublicationWe invite you to convert your open source software into an additional journal publication in Software Impacts, a multi-disciplinary open access journal. Software Impacts provides a scholarly reference to software that has been used to address a research challenge. The journal disseminates impactful and re-usable scientific software through Original Software Publications which describe the application of the software to research and the published outputs.

International Journal of Production Economics

• ISSN: 0925-5273
• 5 Year impact factor: 10.3
• Impact factor: 9.8

The International Journal of Production Economics focuses on topics treating the interface between engineering and management. All aspects of the subject in relation to manufacturing and process industries, as well as production in general are covered. The journal is interdisciplinary in nature, considering whole cycles of activities, such as the product life cycle - research, design, development, test, launch, disposal - and the material flow cycle - supply, production, distribution.The ultimate objective of the journal is to disseminate knowledge for improving industrial practice and to strengthen the theoretical base necessary for supporting sound decision making. It provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and the presentation of new developments in theory and application, wherever engineering and technology meet the managerial and economic environment in which industry operates. In character, the journal combines the high standards of a traditional academic approach with the practical value of industrial applications.Articles accepted need to be based on rigorous sound theory and contain an essential novel scientific contribution. Tracing economic and financial consequences in the analysis of the problem and solution reported, belongs to the central theme of the journal. Submissions should strictly follow the Guide for Authors of the journal.We are interested in publishing high quality survey and review papers in relevant domains. However, we stress that the hurdles for consideration of such papers are high. They must demonstrate a strong need, show that they are well-executed, and generate valuable insights. Survey and review papers must position themselves clearly in relation to existing related reviews and surveys in the field. Systematic reviews that merely describe publication patterns in a particular field are unlikely to be sent out for review for IJPE. All survey and review papers must show valuable critique of the field and new insights. Such papers will normally require author(s) with sufficient experience in the field to make appropriate judgements.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
