Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this Special Issue of the Mathematics journal, entitled "Research and Application of Network and System Security". In today's interconnected world, the emergence of Intelligent Connected Vehicles, Industrial Control Systems, and Cloud–Edge Collaboration Architecture has significantly expanded attack surfaces. Cybersecurity threats are becoming more complex and cross-domain in nature, demanding sophisticated defense strategies. We invite the submission of cutting-edge research on Dynamic Heterogeneous Redundancy models that enhance system resilience against Cross-Domain Attacks. Contributions addressing Game theory-based Attack Evaluation frameworks for dynamic threat assessment are highly encouraged. We also welcome studies exploring how AI can optimize Integrated Safety Protection mechanisms in multi-layered architectures. In this evolving landscape, cyber mimic defense, leveraging behavioral mimicry to detect and counteract sophisticated threats, has emerged as a critical component of Dynamic Defense strategies. Research on how Cloud Computing and Edge Computing can support real-time threat detection and response in these systems will be particularly valuable to advancing the field of cybersecurity.

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. Mathematics 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 2600 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.
