Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multicore, multiprocessor, distributed, and decentralized computing have normalized parallel computing for all useful applications. The rise in processors for each computing service challenges deliverable performance, reliability, and security. It seems evident that the traditional “client-server” computing models simply did not cover all that is needed to make a server efficient, reliable, and secure. A server’s performance seems directly related to reliability, since, mathematically, zero reliability means zero performance.
As the industry has embraced the Open-Source software creation model, tamper resistance has become a serious concern for mission-critical services. Security of Open-Source software is mostly an afterthought, except for cryptographic projects like Blockchains. These rising concerns demand active discussions and research into potential solutions.
This Special Issue seeks original contributions in the above-mentioned areas. Mathematics can help quantify our progress but is not strictly required since every serious engineering effort can always be justified eventually in mathematics or multiple other disciplines such as physics, chemistry, or biology.

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.
