Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The concept of intelligent construction (IC) has emerged as an innovative approach to revolutionize the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry by integrating advanced information technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT).

We are seeking valuable contributions to our Special Issue, “Intelligent Construction: Progress in Civil Engineering and Architectural Innovations”. Within this Special Issue, we aim to showcase the latest developments and innovations that are reshaping the field of civil engineering and construction.

We invite experts to share their expertise and research findings with a global audience. We encourage submissions that explore the far-reaching effects of advanced information technologies, including AI and IoT, on the construction sector, whether they involve enhancing project efficiency, sustainability, design methodologies, safety protocols, or any other facet of intelligent construction.

Topics of interest include the following:

  • Data fusion and decision-making;
  • Improving the accuracy and efficiency of knowledge representation, learning, and utilization;
  • Establishing large pre-trained models in the field;
  • Embodied AI for action based on decisions.

By submitting your work to this Special Issue, you are participating in shaping the future of civil engineering. We believe your contributions will inspire and inform our readers, making intelligent construction the cornerstone of sustainable, efficient, and safe building structures.

Join us in this journey of discovery as we unveil the advancements driving the future of civil engineering and building structures. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
