Efficient Energy and Reliability Management of Mobile CPS in the Future Internet

Dear Colleagues,

Although the mass adoption of mobile cyber physical systems (CPS), such as smartphones, wearables, robots and drones, remarkably improves the quality and convenience of our lives through various applications, such computing systems come with unique challenges. One of the critical issues currently faced by mobile CPSs is the need for computing resource management and optimization in resource-constrained hardware to enhance the power consumption, thermal behaviour and reliability of such devices.

On the other hand, as we move towards Web3, where user content and applications are decentralized due to the adoption of the blockchain, managing computing resources in such mobile CPSs could additionally affect the security and privacy of users' data. Furthermore, the data processing workload of the decentralized Web3 also differs from the workload of traditional applications, which is currently not executed for blockchain technology.

This Special Issue in Future Internet intends to create a discussion forum where various experiences, ideas, research and points of view can be presented. We are inviting authors to join in this collaboration to share research, ideas and practices to build the knowledge base of computing resource management, mobile CPSs and the blockchain and their role in decentralized Web3. Together, we can achieve solutions to the numerous problems encountered in the application of mobile CPSs and the decentralized Web3. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Resource management and optimization of mobile CPS in the Future Internet;
• Networking advancements in energy and reliability management for mobile CPSs using blockchain infrastructure;
• Energy-efficient mobile CPS architecture;
• Reliable mobile CPS architecture;
• Efficient machine learning for mobile CPSs;
• Blockchain and mobile CPSs;
• Cloud computing and mobile CPSs;
• Security and privacy for mobile CPS.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Future Internet is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
