Intelligent Optimization and Adaptive Design in Smart Wearables and Robotic Systems--------- [Special Issue - SWRS]

Aims and Scope

Smart wearable devices and robotic systems are increasingly deployed across healthcare, industrial automation, urban mobility, and cultural environments. These systems rely on tight integration of sensing, computation, communication, and control to operate effectively under dynamic conditions. Recent progress in machine learning, multi-objective optimization, edge computing, and embedded intelligence has enabled advanced capabilities

The theme aligns with JCSE’s focus on emerging computing technologies—including smart and intelligent computing, ubiquitous computing, and embedded systems—by addressing cross-layer challenges in perception, decision-making, and actuation. Contributions will span algorithmic innovation, architectural efficiency, and application-specific validation Given the rapid deployment of autonomous and wearable systems in critical infrastructure, manufacturing, and public services, there is growing demand for solutions that ensure reliability, scalability, and interoperability. This special issue responds to that need by fostering integrated approaches that bridge theoretical advances with real-world system requirements.
