Special Issue on: "Artificial Intelligence for Manufacturing and Engineering"

Guest Editors:
Dr. Zengchang Qin and Dr. Fei Tao, Beihang University, China

Artificial intelligence has revolutionised information technology. The new economy of information technology has shaped the way we are living. This special issue aims to cover the different aspects of manufacturing using artificial intelligence technology, including machine learning, data mining, computer vision, multi-agent systems, evolutionary computation and fuzzy logic.

The topics span a wider range of artificial intelligence (AI) disciplines, from knowledge representation to knowledge support systems. They identify a fertile area not only for applying AI to contemporary issues of design and manufacturing systems but also for enriching the methodology for developing AI systems in manufacturing enterprises. Indeed, we believe that numerous successful applications in the industrial sectors highlight a future direction for productive AI applications in industry.

Review papers as well as full research papers are welcome.
