Real-Time Embedded Systems for IoT

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm that inspires industries to develop intelligent and autonomous systems. In the IoT systems, various technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, digital twin (DT), etc., are integrated to provide secure, efficient, and seamless IoT services. However, there are many challenges that come with the limitations of computing and network resources. Also, the heterogenous IoT protocols and platforms increase the difficulty of IoT system development. Novel solutions need to overcome the limitations and heterogeneity in the IoT environment.

Contributions from all fields related to IoT are welcome in this Special Issue, particularly those covering the following topics:

• Theory, applications, case studies, and project reports related to emerging IoT standard protocols, frameworks, and platforms;
• Efficient computing, network, and security solutions in IoT, wireless sensor networks, and vehicle networks;
• IoT and edge computing solutions in smart spaces such as homes, buildings, factories, farms, and cities;
• Real-time inference and prediction approaches in the IoT edge environment.

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. 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.
