Advancements in Computer Architectures and Real-Time Systems for Robotics and Mechatronics

Dear Colleagues,

The research on computer architectures and real-time systems has gained great interest in recent years as a result of the ever-increasing utilization of such systems in the IoT (Internet of Things), industrial IoT, cloud and edge computing applications. The outcomes of this type of research can be widely applied in various fields, such as smart manufacturing, industrial automation, energy systems, smart healthcare, intelligent robotics, automotive and autonomous vehicles, etc.

This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality research papers that describe developments and advancements in computer architectures and real-time systems with a specific focus on robotics and mechatronics.

Therefore, we sincerely invite scholars to actively submit papers on related research areas. These papers are expected to address developments and applications of computer architectures and real-time systems in robotics and mechatronics but are not limited only to these fields. Relevant research papers, e.g., real-time, low-cost, and energy-efficient embedded systems architectures, software, and applications in IoT, are welcome for inclusion in this Special Issue as well.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
