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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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).

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) provide supervised learning via input pattern assessment and effective resource management, thereby improving energy efficiency and predicting environmental fluctuations. The advanced technique of ANNs forecasts diesel engine emissions by collecting measurements during trial sessions. This study included experimental sessions to establish technical and ecological indicators for a diesel engine across several operational scenarios. VALLUM01, a novel tool, has been created with a user-friendly interface for data input/output, intended for the purposes of testing and prediction. There was a comprehensive collection of 12 input parameters and 10 output parameters that were identified as relevant and sufficient for the objectives of training, validation, and prediction. The proper value ranges for transforming into fuzzy sets for input/output to an ANN were found. Given that the ANN’s training session comprises 1,000,000 epochs and 1000 perceptrons within a single-hidden layer, its effectiveness can be considered high. Many statistical distributions, including Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall, validate the prediction accuracy. The accuracy ranges from 96% on average, and in some instances, it may go up to 99%.
