Special Issues

Special Issue on Human-Centered and Trustworthy AI for Cybersecurity in Cyber-Physical Systems Submission Date: 2027-01-31 Artificial Intelligence is transforming everyday applications and critical infrastructures, but this transformation brings systemic risks at both the model and socio-technical level. This Special Issue explores the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, human factors, and risk management, addressing adversarial threats to machine learning systems, e.g., adversarial examples, data poisoning, and backdoor attacks, alongside human-centered vulnerabilities exploited through phishing, social engineering, and disinformation. We welcome original contributions presenting AI-driven detection and mitigation methods, human-centered cybersecurity approaches, and real-world engineering applications and case studies, with a focus on reproducible, validated solutions for security-critical, human-in-the-loop, and cyber-physical systems.Artificial Intelligence systems are now deeply embedded in everyday applications, digital infrastructures, and security-critical environments, enabling unprecedented capabilities but also introducing complex and systemic risks at two interconnected levels. At the model level, AI systems are inherently vulnerable to adversarial manipulation, including adversarial examples, data poisoning, backdoor attacks, model extraction, and membership inference. As AI is increasingly deployed in safety-critical and cyber-physical systems, model robustness and trustworthiness under adversarial conditions become a foundational engineering concern. At the socio-technical level, cyber threats increasingly target the cognitive and social dimensions of digital ecosystems. Modern adversaries exploit human behavior and trust through social engineering and disinformation campaigns, exploiting cognitive biases and large-scale information manipulation to make human-in-the-loop systems particularly vulnerable. Addressing these risks has become a key challenge for researchers and practitioners as AI is rapidly integrated into critical engineering domains.This Special Issue addresses the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, human factors, and risk management. We invite submissions presenting advances in machine learning, knowledge discovery, cybersecurity, and human-centered computing, and that foster methodologies to identify, model, and mitigate risks in AI-based socio-technical systems operating in human-critical environments.

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.

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).

Special Issue on IoT in Disaster Management Submission Date: 2027-06-15 The number of disasters is on rise year by year. The wild fires, rainfall, earthquakes, landslides, floods, volcano eruptions, cyclones, etc. are the common natural disasters. As the human population is growing, the effect is also worsening. The prediction and early warning of the disasters may help in saving lives and minimizing the economic losses and impact as well. In addition, the urban and critical infrastructure health monitoring and surveillance is becoming very significant. This includes bridges, power plants and distribution networks, canals, dams, fuel storage and supply units, etc. Even though the domain is being studied for decades, it still remains a challenge for the researchers. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects and devices such as computers, sensors, meters, actuators that enables the exchange of data over the internet enabling the problem to be solved collectively. The devices such as sensors and meters collect real time data and processed at the cloud servers, data centers, edge nodes, etc. The data could be multimodal and be in the form of numbers, photos, audio and videos, etc. The collected massive real time data can be utilized to simulate the physical world/scenario using the concept of Digital Twins. The CubeSats can collect the data over a wider geographical area and analyze it quickly. The ML algorithms, deterministic and AI based optimization algorithms, as well as metaheuristics play key role in classifying the data, making the precise predictions and making the systems learn continuously and progressively. The IoT and associated technologies are being considered as the means for the researchers to progress towards the precise prediction of the disasters, classifying the disaster warning messages, and routing them to corresponding rescue teams, develop early warning system, efficient deployment of the resources such as machinery, men, information, etc. The issue can accommodate the original and application-based contributions from within the below domains (not limited to): Digital Twin for the prediction of landslides Digital Twin for the prediction flood rises and gradient IoT for Structural Health Monitoring AI and ML Algorithms in IoT Big Data Analytics for Disaster Management CubeSats Network for Disaster Prediction Machine Learning enabling Early Warning IoT for Surveillance and Monitoring IoT in Early Warning IoT for Post Disaster Efficient Resource Management Guest editors: Dr. Anand Kulkarni MIT World Peace University, Pune, India Prof. Patrick Siarry University Paris-Est Créteil Val de Marne, Créteil, France Manuscript submission information: Open for Submission: from 2026-10-01 to 2027-06-15 ​Article Type Name: "VSI: EAAI_IoT Disaster Mgmt" - please select this item when you submit manuscripts online All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed.
