Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Embedded systems have been one of the key enablers of the change of our world and society during the past few decades, and they are called to play a prominent role in the future.
On top of that, significant advances in network technology, especially the rise of wireless communications, have contributed to the ubiquity of all sorts of devices, running with increasingly smarter and more sophisticated functionality. We tend to forget that they are an indissoluble part of reality, becoming indispensable in our lives.
Today, most embedded systems are, in turn, connected and decentralized, leading a technological revolution that builds markets or transforms existing ones. Concepts and visions of the future we want—such as Internet of Things (and eventually, the Internet of Everything), Autonomous and Connected Cars, Industry 4.0 or Smart Cities—would not be possible without embedded and distributed systems.
This Special Issue aims to cover the most recent advances related to the design and programming of embedded and distributed systems, covering all hardware and software technologies. We encourage researchers and engineers from both the academia and industry to share with the readers their visions and latest contributions to the development of next-generation solutions, with special emphasis on their applicability to real-life.

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.
