New Advances in Embedded Software and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Electronics invites academic and industry researchers to submit their original work to this Special Issue titled “New Advances in Embedded Software and Applications”. The demand for smarter, energy-aware, and fast-processing embedded systems has significantly increased across various domains—from automotive, Internet of Things (IoT), and smart city applications to healthcare and industrial automation. In addition, secure embedded systems play a vital role in safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring the integrity of operations in connected environments. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest innovations and trends in embedded systems, software development, and their emerging applications. 

We encourage novel and groundbreaking contributions that address critical challenges and push the boundaries of what embedded systems can achieve in our increasingly connected and big data world. We welcome original research articles and survey papers including, but not limited to, the following:

• Innovative artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) hardware and software solutions for embedded applications;
• Advanced data analytics and processing targeted for edge and IoT applications;
• Hardware–software co-design and methodologies to optimize the performance and energy consumption of embedded applications;
• Security and privacy algorithms and solutions in AI-driven embedded systems;
• Solutions for energy-efficient and batteryless systems including energy harvesting and conversion;
• Non-traditional and innovative embedded systems, including wearable devices and printed and flexible electronics;
• Emerging applications including IoT, manufacturing automation, healthcare, smart cities, wearable electronics, and sensor acquisition.

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-anonymized 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.
