Several real-world tasks, however, cannot yet be solved by machines alone. Systems are hence needed that rely on the integration of Human and Artificial Intelligence to solve the most complex problems. In many academic and industrial intelligent agents, communication between humans and computers is a key factor. Many challenges, however, can hinder successful cooperation between the two actors. ML algorithms, for instance, fail to provide explanations for their actions, while human cognitive overload and human out-of-the-loop syndrome may result in lower performance.</span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; min-height: 14px;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"></span><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">It is open to both original research articles and review articles covering all the relevant progress in these fields (though is not limited to the following):</span></div><ul class=""><li class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">New technologies and frameworks that support human–machine interaction and human–machine collaborative intelligence;</span></li><li class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Machine learning (e.g., deep learning) to understand human behavior;</span></li><li class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Explainable Artificial Intelligence;</span></li><li class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Human factors in Artificial Intelligence;</span></li><li class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Human teaming with autonomous systems;</span></li><li class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Situation-aware intelligent systems;</span></li><li class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Artificial intelligence for cyberphysical–social systems;</span></li><li class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Emotion Artificial Intelligence (e.g., sentiment analysis);</span></li><li class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Brain–computer modeling for human–machine cooperation;</span></li><li class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Decision support systems in different domains (e.g., logistics, smart factory, healthcare);</span></li><li class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Personalized systems (e.g., user profiling, e-learning, recommender systems).</span></li></ul><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; min-height: 14px;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"></span><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Applied Sciences is an online, peer-reviewed, open access journal, published quarterly by MDPI AG, Basel, Switzerland. The journal is covered by Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science) [search for "Applied Sciences-Basel"], Scopus, INSPEC (IET) and other databases. Manuscripts are peer-reviewed and a first decision provided to authors approximately 17 days after submission; acceptance to publication is undertaken in 5.7 days (median values for papers published in the first six months of 2018).</span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; min-height: 14px;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"></span><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;"><span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">An Article Processing Charges (APC) of 2000 CHF for Applied Sciences apply to accepted papers.
