Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, we have witnessed the increasingly prominent role of programmable logic devices, especially FPGA and SoC. Various PLD applications can be found in almost all areas of human life, such as manufacturing systems, smart grids, robotics, transportation systems, medical devices, military, home area networks, digital data analysis, smart buildings and IoT, etc.
This Special Issue aims to discuss recent advances in the design, architecture, synthesis, modeling, specification, analysis, and verification of programmable logic devices. Such aspects involve many fields of science; thus, a wide range of topics is covered (but not limited to):
- The logic synthesis and implementation methods of programmable logic devices (FPGA, CPLD, SoC);
- Design methodologies, analysis techniques, and verification methods of PLDs and digital systems;
- Optimization techniques (e.g., power, area, delay);
- Concurrency modeling and analysis of digital systems;
- Verification and validation techniques, including formal verification methods;
- Performance evaluation;
- Real-time systems, including real-time sensing and computing;
- Internet of Things, including aspects of design, organization, and implementation;
- Hardware implementation of intelligent algorithms;
- Reconfigurable control systems (including distributed and integrated systems);
- Dependable systems (cryptology, security algorithms, security aspects).

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
