Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing integration and complexity of global financial systems bring new challenges for understanding, predicting and mitigating systemic risks. In this context, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), modelling and simulation offers a powerful set of tools for analyzing financial networks as complex, dynamic, adaptive systems subject to exogenous shocks.
This Special Issue in Systems invites submissions of articles that explore advanced approaches to modelling and simulation applied to the prediction, stability and governance of financial networks. The focus is on developing robust prediction models that can anticipate systemic risk, financial contagion and fragility in network stability. These models support decision-making processes in rapidly evolving financial environments and help us to commit to a demanding planet.
Contributions that combine system dynamics, agent-based modelling, network analysis and graph theory with artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning are particularly encouraged. Data-driven approaches, including big data analytics, time series forecasting, Monte Carlo simulation, stress testing, early warning systems and digital twins applied to cyber-physical finance, are especially valued.
The Special Issue welcomes theoretical, methodological, and empirical work in the areas of computational finance, fintech innovation, and economic forecasting, with a focus on financial resilience, explainable AI, and governance.

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. 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.
