Emerging Advances for Cyber-Physical Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) represent the transition from more isolated local control systems to advanced networked systems where all sorts of devices participate. The resulting networks are called Internet of Things (IoT), a term which emphasizes the scale and autonomy of the connected devices. With the advance of CPS, many previously separated application domains grow together into systems of greater multitude of service, forming a multi-disciplinary area of research and engineering. With this increasing scale of networked CPS, there are also inherent barriers to their deployment, as we need to establish security and dependability for their new application domains. This Special Issue focuses on the analysis, design, implementation, and verification of CPS.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Cyber-physical systems
• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Real-time control systems
• Resource optimisation, low-energy computing
• Networking, wire-less sensor networks
• Critical infrastructure
• Secure systems
• Emerging behaviour, composability, and compositionality
• Autonomous systems
• Verifiable AI

You are warmly welcomed to contribute!

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-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.
