Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the world is growing technologically, real-time systems have received global attention as an ever-increasing tidal wave of information technology, including the IoT (Internet of Things), fog/edge/cloud computing, mechatronics and robotics, ubiquitous and distributed systems, etc. However, the challenge of keeping the design, development and implementation of real-time systems reliable and efficient, and at the same time maintaining low costs, energy efficiency and high safety, is becoming more difficult. All applications should be designed, scheduled and executed according to appropriate strategies such that their deadline, energy, safety and dependence requirements are satisfied even in the worst case. At the same time, new computing scenarios such as fog/edge/cloud computing, intelligent Internet of things and automatic driving continue to appear and grow, bringing new opportunities and challenges to the traditional computing mode and system software development. Therefore, it is important and urgent to analyze the current advances and trends of new designs, developments and applications of real-time systems.
This Special Issue aims to collect the latest contributions in the area of embedded systems, real-time systems, IoT (Internet of Things) systems and their important applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: real-time systems and applications (e.g., scheduling algorithms, timing analysis, resource management, communication networks in IoT, fog/edge/cloud computing, mechatronics and robotics, ubiquitous and distributed systems); real-time system architectures and real-time operating systems (e.g., multi-core/multi-processor embedded systems, heterogeneous architectures, non-volatile memories and storage, distributed architectures, reconfigurable computing architectures and software support, time-critical embedded software); real-time system design and analysis tools and techniques (e.g., testing, validation and certification in real-time systems, safety-critical and mixed-critical embedded software design, programming languages and run-time systems, static and dynamic techniques for resource demand estimation, middleware systems, simulation systems); energy efficient real-time systems and applications (e.g., energy-efficient embedded software, modeling, analysis and optimization for timing and predictability, incorporating optimization applications of several parameters such as utilization, energy and fault-tolerance, etc.); and real-time embedded system performance issues (e.g., QoS management and performance analysis, embedded software security, hardware and software design for safe autonomy, methods for determining the energy, power or thermal footprint of real-time applications, computer-assisted proofs and runtime monitoring systems).

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.
