Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) combine computational and physical entities that interact with sophisticated and unpredictable environments via sensors and actuators. Today, CPS applications are everywhere around us, profoundly impacting our society and changing the ways in which we interact with the physical world. Self-driving vehicles, medical devices that sense the patient’s parameters and accordingly adapt the therapy, and buildings that optimize the heating strategy to the users’ habits are just a few examples where CPSs adopt machine intelligence for the service of the consumer. The inherent complexity of modern CPS and the intricate interactions with their physical environments pose significant challenges for CPS design and analysis.
This Special Issue “Cyber-Physical Systems: Theory, Methods, and Applications” aims to reflect recent developments in the design and analysis of CPSs. Submissions are expected to focus on both the theoretical aspects and practical applications of CPS design and analysis methods. New ideas proposi
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Mathematical foundations for CPS
- Design, implementation, synthesis, planning, control, and deployment of CPS
- Analysis, verification, validation, and testing of CPS
- Machine intelligence in CPS
- Applications and industrial case studies in automotive, avionics, energy, robotics, medical devices, manufacturing, biology, models for the life sciences, and other CPS-related areas.
New ideas proposing disruptive approaches are also welcome.
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.
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.
