Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing complexity of digital systems leads to new challenges for scientists dealing with broadly understood digital technology. It is becoming necessary to propose new methods of logic synthesis or effective verification methods. Design aimed at reducing power consumption, maximizing the speed of operation, limiting the number of resources, or increasing reliability is also particularly important. Another current issue is the use of AI in this process.
A special group is FPGA (field-programmable gate array) systems; their use in the areas of PLC controllers, electric drive control, cyber–physical systems, or space applications has been particularly important in recent years. Articles presenting various applications, uses, or implementations of FPGAs also belong to the thematic area of this Special Issue. Contributions showing the broadly understood SoC (system-on-chip), including the use of microprocessors or IP cores, are also welcome.
Naturally, all works related to logic synthesis are always particularly appreciated, as are works related to fuzzy logic.
In creating this Special Issue, I would like to touch upon the subject of the development of digital systems.If any topic has not been mentioned above and is related to broadly understood digital systems (microprocessors, IoT, etc.), then it naturally fits into the scope of this collection.
Authors can propose their own topics related to the development of digital 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.

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.
