The International Journal of Intelligent Real-Time Automation
国际智能实时自动化杂志
A journal of IFAC, the International Federation of Automatic Control
IFAC（国际自动控制联合会）期刊

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing a major role in the fourth industrial revolution and we are seeing a lot of evolution in various machine learning methodologies. AI techniques are widely used by the practicing engineer to solve a whole range of hitherto intractable problems. This journal provides an international forum for rapid publication of work describing the practical application of AI methods in all branches of engineering. Submitted papers should report some novel aspects of AI used for a real world engineering application and also validated using some public data sets for easy replicability of the research results.
