Engineering Applications of Intelligent Monitoring and Control 2014

Abstract

Intelligent monitoring and control is an important issue in various engineering domains including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, control engineering, civil engineering, biomedical engineering, and micro/nanoengineering. Unlike traditional method, intelligent approaches enable some attractive advantages to the systems, namely, perception, reasoning, learning, and making decisions from incomplete information. Such merits are essential for lots of engineering applications without human interaction. Following the inaugural special issue, the main focus of this year's annual issue is on emerging intelligent system approaches with the goal of monitoring and controlling various physical processes with no or very little human interaction. The objective of this issue is to summarize the recent emerging developments and ideas in concerned domains of intelligent monitoring and control.
