Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent developments and emerging trends in the field of distributed systems. Its main focus is multi-agent systems, distributed estimation, distributed optimization, game theory, multi-agent machine learning, and swarm robotics. These interconnected domains are crucial for enhancing the efficiency, scalability, and resilience of distributed systems operating in dynamic and unpredictable environments. This Special Issue seeks to gather high-quality research contributions that present innovative methodologies, theoretical advancements, and practical applications. Topics of interest include the design and analysis of multi-agent systems, real-time state estimation techniques in distributed environments, optimization methods for decentralized networks, strategic insights from swarm game theory, and the development of robotic swarms for complex tasks. Additionally, this issue will cover resilient and secure approaches to ensure robustness against adversarial threats and failures. By bringing together cutting-edge research from academia and industry, this Special Issue aims to advance the theoretical foundations and practical applications of distributed systems and networks, fostering further innovations and collaborations in this rapidly evolving field.

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. Electronics 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.
