Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Engineered systems are critical to the success of most private companies (e.g., oil and gas drilling, processing, and distribution systems) and public organizations (e.g., military and homeland security systems). However, these systems have become more complex, interconnected, automated, and costly to develop, operate, and support in the face of changing environments and new competition/adversaries. A resilient engineered system can be defined as “A system that is able to successfully complete its planned mission(s) in the face of a disruption (environmental or adversarial) and has capabilities to perform future missions with evolving threats.” This definition highlights the challenges of meeting planned missions and future missions with uncertain adversarial threats. Engineering managers, project managers, systems engineers, and systems analysts need new techniques to assess the potential resilience of engineered systems during system development that will enable future system operators to maintain critical system capabilities with evolving threats. This Special Issue focuses on the engineered systems resilience evaluation of design and operational options to enable future capability and extend the system life cycle.

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. Systems 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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
