<p><b>CALL FOR PAPERS</b></p>
<p>Special issue of the IFAC/Elsevier Journal <b>Engineering
Applications of Artificial Intelligence </b></p>
<p>Prospective authors are invited to submit their original
unpublished manuscripts for consideration for a special issue of
the IFAC journal Engineering Applications of Artificial
Intelligence, organised by the IFAC Technical Committee on
Computational Intelligence and Control. <b>The </b><b>theme of
the special issue is Advances in Machine Learning and AI for
Intelligent Control and Optimisation</b>. </p>
<p>The constantly increasing availability of data, the rapid
expansion in computational and storage capacities of IT systems,
and algorithmic advances in Machine Learning, AI and Intelligent
Control, are beginning to have a huge impact in many areas of
science and engineering. These technologies have the potential to
transform many sectors of our society, from healthcare to
manufacturing. However, many challenges remain that are limiting
their wide scale adoption, from dealing with data quality and
volume issues to achieving scalable and robust solutions. This
special issue invites contributions that address these challenges
and/or showcase the latest real-world applications and enabling
algorithmic advancements of Machine Learning and Intelligent
Control. Comprehensive tutorial and survey papers are also
welcome.</p>
<p>We invite novel contributions that are based on (but not limited
to) the following topics as they pertain to system identification,
intelligent control, and optimisation of dynamical systems.</p>
- Parsimonious and robust machine learning approaches<br>
- Deep learning, transfer learning and adaption<br>
- Machine learning approaches for sequence learning tasks<br>
- Soft computing (Fuzzy logic, Neural Networks, Evolutionary
Algorithms, …)<br>
- Reinforcement learning<br>
- Computer vision<br>
<p>Application areas include autonomous vehicles, robotic systems,
human-machine collaboration, industry 4.0, smart grids,
agriculture, environmental systems, biomedical systems and
assisted living technologies. </p>
<p><b>Prospective authors are asked to notify the guest editors of
their intention to submit a paper </b><b>to the special issu</b><b>e</b>
by sending the title and a 200-word abstract to Seán McLoone (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:s.mcloone@qub.ac.uk" moz-do-not-send="true">s.mcloone@qub.ac.uk</a>),
to confirm the suitability of their contribution for the special
issue and to receive submission instructions.</p>
<p><b>Deadline for full paper submission: </b>31 October 2021</p>
