Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world in terms of the normal structure of daily activities, as well as our production and consumption rates. As a result, many studies were performed last year on the impact of COVID-19 on electricity, water, and transportation, and many new engineering applications were identified to help to face the issues created by the pandemic.
This Special Issue, entitled “Impacts and Engineering Applications During COVID 19”, focuses on this remarkably interesting topic of COVID-19. We seek papers presenting either the impacts of COVID-19 in terms of energy, water, transportation, industry, and agriculture or applications to deal with the current situation using robotics, machine learning, or even digital twins.
Topics may include (but are not limited to)
- Impacts of COVID-19 on energy consumption
- Impacts of COVID-19 on sustainable energy market
- Impacts of COVID-19 on water consumption
- Impacts of COVID-19 on transportation
- Impacts of COVID-19 on industry
- Impacts of COVID-19 on agriculture
- Combination between energy and water to face COVID-19 impacts
- Digital twin role in the COVID-19 era
- Robotics and mechatronics facilities role in the COVID-19 era
- IoT role in the COVID-19 era
- Machine learning in the COVID-19 era

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 System Innovation 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 1400 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.
