Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intelligent embedded systems have become a necessity in almost every aspect of the real world. Advanced embedded systems utilizing Artificial Intelligence offer wide range of flexibility and convenience. Such applications include mission-critical and latency-sensitive embedded systems. The systems are implemented locally to complete various sets of related tasks.
Intelligent embedded systems have wide applicability, including in microcontrollers, consumer electronics, and medical devices, and in areas ranging from edge-level controllers to cloud-level control systems. Indeed, these systems, powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), will revolutionize how we control our environment, including factories, workplaces, transportation systems, and power/water/gas grids. For example, AI-powered robots are rapidly capable of controlling multiple tasks and learning from experience while interacting with humans. Working via the human–computer interface, these system applications are broadening the scope of its use and its contributions.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions on novel ideas related to AI-powered enhanced embedded systems in various domains, such as industrial automation, manufacturing, robotics, automotive, appliance automation, healthcare, wearable systems, energy systems, smart grids, and smart cities. Potential areas of research include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- AI-powered advanced embedded systems and applications.;
- Modelling and simulation of intelligent embedded systems;
- Sensing and perception of intelligent embedded systems;
- Enhancing energy efficiency of intelligent embedded systems and applications;
- Reliable and fault-tolerant real-time intelligent embedded systems for IoT devices;
- Lessons learned from large-scale real-time control of intelligent embedded 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. 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).
