Call For Papers
The science of supporting knowledge-intensive activities Advanced computing methods and related technologies are changing the way engineers interact with the information infrastructure. Explicit knowledge representation formalisms and new reasoning techniques are no longer the sole territory of computer science. For knowledge-intensive tasks in engineering, a new philosophy and body of knowledge called Engineering Informatics is emerging. Advanced Engineering Informatics solicits research papers with particular emphases both on 'knowledge' and 'engineering applications'. As an international Journal, original papers typically: • Report progress in the engineering discipline of applying methods of engineering informatics. • Have engineering relevance and help provide the scientific base to make engineering decision-making more reliable, spontaneous and creative. • Contain novel research that demonstrates the science of supporting knowledge-intensive engineering tasks. • Validate the generality, power and scalability of new methods through vigorous evaluation, preferably both qualitatively and quantitatively. In addition, the Journal welcomes high quality review articles that summarise, compare, and evaluate methodologies and representations that are proposed for the field of engineering informatics. Similarly, summaries and comparisons of full-scale applications are welcomed, particularly those where scientific shortcomings have hindered success. Typically, such papers have expanded literature reviews and discussion of findings that reflect mastery of the current body of knowledge and propose novel additions to contemporary research. Papers missing explicit representation and use of knowledge, such as those describing soft computing techniques, mathematical optimization methods, pattern recognition techniques, and numerical computation methods, do not normally qualify for publication in the Journal. Papers must illustrate contributions using examples of automating and supporting knowledge intensive tasks in artifacts-centered engineering fields such as mechanical, manufacturing, architecture, civil, electrical, transportation, environmental, and chemical engineering. Papers that report application of an established method to a new engineering subdomain will qualify only if they convincingly demonstrate noteworthy new power, generality or scalability in comparison with previously reported validation results. Finally, papers that discuss software engineering issues only are not in the scope of this journal.

Special Issues
Special Issue on Human-AI Collaboration for Engineering Designs and Services in the Evolution of Industry 5.0 and BeyondSubmission Date: 2025-03-31In the field of engineering, the arrival of the digital transformation era has brought about a fundamental paradigm change that presents both previously unthinkable possibilities and difficult challenges (Lee et al., 2021). One notable challenge is the increasing complexity of cybersecurity threats, as interconnected systems become more prevalent, posing risks to integrity and security of critical engineering infrastructure. Additionally, the rapid pace of technological evolution has led to challenges in workforce adaptation, requiring continuous skill development to keep pace with emerging technologies and methodologies. Moreover, ethical implications surrounding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in engineering, such as bias in algorithms and responsible technology integration, represent another significant challenge that necessitates careful consideration and resolution within the evolving digital landscape (Lee et al., d2021; Lepri et al., 2021; Rožanec, et al., 2023). The fast adoption of modern technologies by various industries has made the integration of AI and human intelligence (HI) a crucial focus in the field of engineering designs and services (Lee et al., 2022; Lepri et al., 2021; Rožanec, et al., 2023, Agrawal et al., 2023). The transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0 represents a critical turning point in the dynamic environment of the digital transformation age, stressing a deep reorientation towards human-centric, linked systems (Zhang et al., 2023; Zizic et al., 2022). The essential requirement for research on human-AI collaboration, which is emphasized by a number of aspects, is at the center of this shift. Industry 5.0 sees a future where human creativity and intuition are crucial, encouraging collaborative innovation in engineering designs and services, whereas Industry 4.0 was primarily focused on technology efficiency (Trappey et al., 2017; Marcon et al, 2022; Zizic et al., 2022). The shift to Industry 5.0 demands efficient decision-making that combines human contextual awareness with AI-driven insights. Furthermore, social and ethical issues take center stage, necessitating a responsible integration of AI that is consistent with human values (Rožanec et al., 2023; Grabowska et al., 2022, Colabianchi et al., 2023). Research on human-AI collaboration is crucial for developing educational initiatives that highlight the symbiotic relationship between people and AI as we equip the labor force for Industry 5.0 (Grabowska et al., 2022; Lepri et al., 2021; Zhang et al., 2023). Digital Twin as a highly automated, AI-enabled artifact heavily impacts the Human-Machine collaboration: “Where humans fit in?” (Agrawal et al., 2023, Colabianchi et al., 2023). Human-AI collaboration refers to the synergistic and interactive partnership between HI and AI systems to achieve shared goals or tasks. It involves the seamless integration of human expertise, creativity, and contextual understanding with the computational capabilities of AI, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship (Grabowska et al., 2022; Lepri et al., 2021; Zhang et al., 2023, Agrawal et al., 2023). This collaboration often encompasses joint decision-making, problem-solving, and information processing, where the strengths of both human and AI entities are leveraged to enhance overall performance and outcomes. In the context of Industry 5.0 and digital transformation, human-AI collaboration emphasizes a cooperative and symbiotic approach, recognizing the unique strengths of each component and optimizing their collective potential for innovation, efficiency, and responsible technological integration. We extend an invitation to researchers, academics, and industry professionals to participate in a thorough examination of the field of human-AI collaboration as it develops in relation to engineering designs and services as Guest Editors of this special issue.
