Monitoring and control have found extensive applications in multiple domains including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, control engineering, civil engineering, biomedical engineering, and micro- /nano-engineering. Intelligent systems have a capability to acquire and apply knowledge in an intelligent manner and have the capabilities of perception, reasoning, learning, and making decisions from incomplete information. Therefore, intelligent system approaches for monitoring and control based sensors pave a practical way for a variety of engineering applications in the absence of human interaction.

The main focus of this special issue will be on new and existing intelligent systems whose goal is to monitor and control diverse physical processes with no human interaction. The special issue will become an international forum for researchers in all branches of engineering to present and summarize the most recent developments and ideas in intelligent monitoring and control and relevant domains. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Structural health monitoring, damage assessment, and life prediction

• Condition monitoring, nondestructive evaluation, and reliability analysis

• Health and environmental monitoring/prediction

• Prognosis and diagnosis

• Intelligent system management

• System modeling, characterization, identification, and optimization

• Advanced computational methods, control systems, and automation

• Artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic systems, and evolutionary computing

• Process control, motion/force control, vibration control, and fault tolerant control

• Smart materials and structures, sensors and actuators, and sensor networks

• Signal processing, communication, modern software and hardware systems, and Internet-based control and manufacturing

• Survey engineering instruments theory and applications

About journal:

Sensors & Transducers is established, international, peer-reviewed, open access journal (print and electronic). It provides the best platform for the researchers and scientist worldwide to exchange their latest findings and results in science and technology of physical, chemical sensors and biosensors. The journal publishes original results of scientific and research works related to strategic and applied studies in all aspects of sensors: reviews, regular research and application specific papers, and short notes. In comparison with other sensors related journals, which are mainly focused on technological aspects and sensing principles, the Sensors & Transducers journal significantly contributes in areas, which are not adequately addressed in other journals, namely: frequency (period), duty-cycle, time-interval, PWM, phase-shift, pulse number output sensors and transducers; sensor systems;  digital, smart, intelligent sensors and systems designs; signal processing and ADC in sensor systems; advanced sensor fusion; sensor networks; applications, etc. By this way the journal significantly enriches the appropriate databases of knowledge.

Sensors & Transducers journal has a very high publicity. It is indexed and abstracted very quickly by Chemical Abstracts, EBSCO Publishing, IndexCopernicus Journals Master List (ICV=6.13 in 2011), Open J-Gate, ProQuest Science Journals, CAS Source Index (CASSI), Ulrich's Periodicals Directory, Scirus, Google Scholar, etc. Since 2011 to 2014 Sensors & Transducers journal was covered and indexed by EI Compendex (CPX) index (including a Scopus, Embase, Engineering Village and Reaxys) in Elsevier products. The journal is included in the IFSA List of Recommended Journals (up-dated 9.12.2014), which contains only the best, established sensors related journals. The global Impact Factor of the journal is 0.705 (2013).
