Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of advanced technologies has dramatically changed the manufacturing industry. From part design to 3D fabrication, production planning and scheduling, the lines between the cyber, physical, and human components are blurring in the digital factory. This brings new challenges and opportunities to different stakeholders for service innovation and sustainability.
One notable trend in Industry 4.0 is the management of heterogeneous information (e.g., customer requirements, sensor data) that is constantly collected and exchanged throughout the design and manufacturing process. Many have attempted to leverage artificial intelligence and machine-learning techniques to make devices and operations smarter and more resilient, especially during the pandemic.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles that apply interdisciplinary/hybrid approaches to explore recent advances in the relevant areas, including but not limited to the following topics. Papers should illustrate novel methodologies with industry-focused case studies or demonstrate noteworthy generality and scalability.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
