Special Issue on Recent Developments of Nanofluids

Recent advances in nanotechnology have allowed the development of a new category of fluids termed nanofluids. A nanofluid refers to the suspension of nanosize particles, which are suspended in the base fluid with low thermal conductivity. The base fluid, or dispersing medium, can be aqueous or non-aqueous in nature. Typical nanoparticles are metals, oxides, carbides, nitrides, or carbon nanotub...

Guest Editorial - Special issue: Recent developments in hybrid intelligent systems

The human-centric facet of intelligent systems, which are inherently based upon the principle of hybridization of the individual information technologies, is definitely an interesting and highly promising avenue to follow. The diversity of communication channels between information systems and the environment is immense, and their effective realization does call for a truly heterogeneous nature...

Special Issue on Recent Advances in Flexible Automation

Flexible Automation as a topic of research has been around for at least a half century. In the late 70’s, flexible manufacturing cell/systems (MFC/MFS) started playing pivotal roles in modern industry, in particular automobile industry. However, the journey of going from a theory or vision to an art or reality did not end there and then. In the last two decades, flexible automation has taken on...
