Special Issues

Special Issue on Human–AI Collaboration in Decision and Managerial Engineering Submission Date: 2026-08-31 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way organizations design strategies, plan scenarios, and make decisions. As AI technologies become embedded in managerial processes, the spotlight is shifting toward human–AI collaboration—its opportunities, limitations, and practical implications. Despite growing academic and industry attention, a comprehensive framework for integrating AI capabilities with human judgment remains underdeveloped. Understanding how human insight and AI-driven analytics interact is essential for organizations seeking to enhance decision quality, safeguard accountability, and avoid over-reliance on automation. This special issue aims to advance that understanding by showcasing research on models, methods, and practices that enrich human–AI collaboration in decision and managerial engineering.

Special Issue on Optimization, Control Theory, and Artificial Intelligence: Converging Methodologies for Engineering Applications Submission Date: 2027-03-01 Optimization, control theory, and artificial intelligence (AI) have long served as foundational pillars of engineering research. Historically, these domains have progressed along separate trajectories: optimization has focused on detecting optimal solutions under tight constraints; control theory has addressed stability and robustness in dynamical systems; and AI has emphasized data-driven problem-solving, learning and decision-making. In modern engineering systems, characterized by nonlinear dynamics, high‑dimensionality, uncertainty, and incomplete information, the boundaries between these fields are rapidly dissolving. Contemporary applications such as cyber‑physical systems (CPS), autonomous systems, intelligent infrastructure, and biomedical engineering demand methodologies that are simultaneously optimal, adaptive, and intelligent. No single discipline is sufficient in isolation. This Special Issue aims to capture and articulate this growing methodological convergence, sometimes described as a form of “grand unification” between mathematical rigor and data‑driven intelligence. It highlights the role of advanced mathematical tools, including partial differential equations, graph theory, fractional calculus, and tensor methods, in enabling safe, interpretable, and robust AI‑driven engineering solutions. We welcome contributions that advance the theoretical foundations, computational methodologies, and engineering applications at the intersection of optimization, control theory, AI, and applied mathematics. Both continuous and discrete time systems, as well as deterministic, stochastic, and fractional order models, will be considered. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: AI-based optimization algorithms, including metaheuristics, swarm intelligence, evolution computation, hybrid learning approaches for complex nonlinear systems. Learning-based and data-driven control frameworks integrating deep learning, reinforcement learning, robust control, adaptive control, and nonlinear control with formal guarantees in terms of stability, robustness, and performance. Machine‑learning‑enhanced Model Predictive Control (MPC), including including adaptive, stochastic, and data‑driven MPC. Mathematical foundations for AI and control using partial differential equations (PDEs), calculus of variations, fractional calculus, game theory, graph theory, and more, in the context of intelligent decision support and control. Optimization and control of large-scale, uncertain and non-linear systems. Distributed, networked, and multi‑agent control systems driven by hybrid AI, knowledge‑based approaches, or data‑driven methods, and their applications in cooperative and competitive environments. Autonomous and robotic systems, ranging from vehicles to drones and mobile manipulators, leveraging AI for perception, planning, learning, and dynamic control. Smart grids, energy, and smart infrastructure, including the integration of renewable energy, energy management, as well as intelligent transportation systems. Industry 4.0 applications: intelligent automation, predictive maintenance, fault diagnosis, and real‑time process control. Biomedical and biological engineering applications in modeling, analysis, optimization, and control. Transportation, traffic control, and mobility systems, including connected and autonomous vehicles. Communication networks and cyber-physical systems, focusing on optimization, control, and AI-driven decision-making.

Special Issue on AI‑Enabled Systems Thinking for Advanced Construction Materials in Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure: Knowledge-Guided Reasoning, Life Cycle Management, and Cross-Disciplinary Optimization Submission Date: 2027-05-31 Sustainable and resilient infrastructure is a global priority, yet traditional material design and static life cycle assessment (LCA) cannot capture the complexity of long‑term durability, material interactions, and system‑wide impacts under climate change. This Special Issue of Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence advances a paradigm shift: from case‑level evaluation to system‑wide, data‑informed decision‑making. We invite contributions that integrate knowledge graphs, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG), multi‑agent systems, digital twins, and explainable AI with civil engineering, materials science, and environmental assessment. Emphasis is placed on three pillars: knowledge‑guided reasoning for interpretable material design and discovery; data‑driven, digital‑twin‑enabled LCA for embodied carbon, energy, and durability; cross‑disciplinary optimization linking material choices to network resilience and lifecycle asset management. Topics include but are not limited to: knowledge graphs for construction materials, low‑carbon material design, RAG for knowledge integration, interpretable AI for strength‑sustainability trade‑offs, multi‑agent autonomous systems, digital twin‑based predictive LCA, multi‑scale aging/degradation modeling, uncertainty quantification, and service‑life modeling linked to environmental impact. All submissions must emphasize real‑world validation, explainability, and replicability (public datasets/code encouraged). The urgent demand for sustainable and resilient infrastructure has placed data-driven prediction and life cycle assessment (LCA) at the forefront of evaluating environmental and structural performance of construction materials. Traditional approaches, whether trial-and-error material design or static, inventory-based LCA, struggle to capture the complexity of material interactions, long-term durability, and system-wide impacts under climate change and decarbonization pressures. Addressing these challenges requires a paradigm shift from case-level evaluation to system-wide, data-informed decision-making. This Special Issue aims to advance AI‑enabled systems thinking for advanced construction materials (e.g., concrete, metals, composites) by integrating knowledge-guided reasoning, life cycle management, and cross-disciplinary optimization. We invite contributions that leverage digital twins, knowledge graphs, machine learning, and multi-agent systems to bridge civil engineering, materials science, computer science, and environmental assessment. The goal is to improve predictive reliability, explainability, resilience, and sustainability of construction materials in service of transportation, water, and energy infrastructure systems. Specifically, this collection emphasizes: Knowledge-Guided Reasoning for Materials Design and Discovery. Knowledge graphs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and multi-agent systems for interpretable AI in mixture design, material discovery, and performance prediction. Integration of heterogeneous data and domain knowledge to enhance model reliability. Data-Driven Life Cycle Management. Advanced LCA powered by big data, field monitoring, and uncertainty analysis. Digital twin–enabled real-time or predictive LCA for embodied carbon, energy, and long-term durability. Cross-Disciplinary Optimization for Infrastructure Systems. System-level frameworks that connect material choices to network resilience, sustainability, and lifecycle asset management. Multi-scale modeling of aging, degradation, and uncertainty under competing objectives (e.g., strength vs. sustainability).
