DYNA JOURNAL ENGINEERING

Current industrial systems operate in an environment characterised by increasing complexity, digitalisation, and the need for rapid, well-founded decisions. The combination of advanced simulation techniques with artificial intelligence methods has become a key tool to understand processes, anticipate behaviours, and optimise resources at all levels of the value chain. This integration is one of the fundamental pillars of the evolution towards Industry 4.0 and is paving the way for the human centred and resilient approaches that characterise Industry 5.0.
Discrete, continuous, hybrid, or agent based simulation—together with predictive models, recommendation systems, optimisation algorithms, digital twins, and explainable AI approaches—makes it possible to address problems of planning, control, logistics, systems design, reliability, and sustainability with a level of accuracy that is difficult to achieve using traditional methods. This combination is driving a new generation of more efficient, resilient, and adaptive processes.
This special issue aims to bring together research addressing both methodological developments and practical applications of simulation and artificial intelligence to support decision making in industry, engineering, and advanced services.
