Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the integration of cyber-physical systems (CPS) are reshaping the landscape of network architecture. This Special Issue, “Network Architectures for IoT and Cyber-Physical Systems”, seeks to explore the innovative design, optimization, and security challenges that are pivotal in these domains. As we push the boundaries of what is possible, we invite contributions that offer novel insights into the development and deployment of robust, scalable, and secure network architectures.
This issue aims to gather leading research that addresses the complex interplay between connectivity, computational demands, and security in IoT and CPS environments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, AI-driven network management, advanced security protocols, data integrity in distributed networks, and the implications of quantum technologies in securing communications.
We look forward to your contributions that not only discuss technological advancements but also consider the practical implications and challenges facing today’s rapidly evolving digital ecosystems.
