Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computers are increasingly being used in applications where failures can be very expensive. Due to their inherent complexity, individual processors and programs have much higher failure rates than the system failure rate allowed in life-critical applications. Accordingly, fault-tolerance is required, which allows the overall computational system to experience a higher dependability than its individual hardware and software components. Such fault-tolerance must be delivered in the face of constraints along the dimensions of cost, energy consumption and operating temperature.
The open-access journal, Algorithms, will have a Special Issue devoted to research in fault-tolerant computing. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Software fault tolerance.
- Processor (hardware) fault tolerance.
- Fault tolerance for embedded/cyber-physical applications.
- Temporal issues: Checkpointing.
- Network fault tolerance.
- Fault-tolerance in the face of thermal and energy constraints.
- Algorithm-based fault tolerance.
- Evaluation of fault-tolerant system dependability.
- Modeling.
- Simulation.
- Experimental (fault injection).

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
