We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue of the ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering, entitled

Modeling, Identification, and Control of Engineering Systems Under Uncertainty

This Special Issue aims to highlight the interplay between modeling, system identification, and control in the presence of uncertainty, fostering integrated approaches that combine theoretical developments, data-driven techniques, and experimental validation. Particular emphasis is placed on cross-disciplinary contributions addressing complex engineering systems through a unified uncertainty-aware perspective.

Contributions are welcome in areas including, but not limited to:

• Modeling and simulation of dynamical systems under uncertainty
• Operational modal analysis (OMA) and model updating with noisy, incomplete, or limited datasets
• Robust, adaptive, and stochastic control strategies for uncertain systems
• Data-driven and hybrid (physics-informed) modeling approaches
• Digital twins and diagnostics of dynamical systems under uncertainty
• Stochastic and non-stationary excitation modeling (wind, seismic, operational)
• Risk- and reliability-based performance assessment
• Experimental and numerical validation of uncertainty-aware methods
• Decision-making frameworks integrating uncertainty into modeling and control

The deadline for manuscript submission is December 15, 2026.

Should you be interested, you are welcome to submit your manuscript at any time up to the deadline. While the official timeline follows ASME standards, the Guest Editors are personally coordinating the review process and will aim to provide a first decision as efficiently as possible.

Manuscripts should be submitted via the journal’s online submission system. Authors are requested to select the appropriate Special Issue title during submission. Detailed author guidelines and further information about the Special Issue are available on the journal’s website at: https://www.asme.org/publications-submissions/journals/administration/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-modeling-identification-and-control-of-engineering-systems-under-uncertainty

We would be delighted if you could confirm your willingness to participate in the Special Issue by providing us with a tentative title.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Should you have any questions regarding the scope, suitability, or submission process, please feel free to contact any of the Guest Editors.

Sincerely,

Guest Editors of the Special Issue:
