Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence is a monthly, peer-reviewed journal published by Elsevier on behalf of IFAC, the International Federation of Automatic Control, founded in 1988 to report the practical application of artificial intelligence in all branches of engineering, and it holds a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 9.0.《人工智能工程应用》（Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence）是爱思唯尔（Elsevier）代表国际自动控制联合会（IFAC）出版的月刊同行评审期刊，1988 年创办，报道人工智能在各工程分支中的实际应用，2025 年影响因子为 9.0。

Scope

• It provides an international forum for rapid publication of work describing the practical application of AI methods in all branches of engineering.该刊为快速发表描述人工智能方法在各工程分支实际应用的成果，提供国际平台。
• Submitted papers must report novel aspects of AI applied to a real-world engineering problem and be validated with public data sets for reproducibility.投稿须报告人工智能用于真实工程问题的新颖之处，并用公开数据集验证以保证可复现。
• Topics include the internet of things and cyber-physical systems, intelligent transportation and smart vehicles, and big data analytics.覆盖方向包括物联网与信息物理系统、智能交通与智能车辆、以及大数据分析。
• Further topics are neural networks, fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy systems, deep learning, and bio-inspired and self-organising systems.其他方向有神经网络、模糊与神经模糊系统、深度学习、以及仿生与自组织系统。
• It also covers global optimisation and meta-heuristics, distributed AI and multi-agent control, and decision-support systems.该刊还涉及全局优化与元启发式、分布式人工智能与多智能体控制、以及决策支持系统。
• Its scope extends to perception such as image processing, pattern recognition, vision systems, tactile systems and speech, and to robotics.其范围延伸至图像处理、模式识别、视觉系统、触觉系统与语音等感知领域，以及机器人学。
• Papers on new metaphor-based metaheuristics are rarely accepted, papers must state their AI contribution and engineering application, and undefined acronyms in titles or abstracts are forbidden.基于新隐喻的元启发式论文很少被接收，论文须说明人工智能贡献与工程应用，标题与摘要中禁止使用未定义缩写。
