Numerical Methods in Real-Time and Embedded Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The continuous growth of emerging technologies such as Internet of things and cyber-physical systems presents a great opportunity to reanalyze embedded and real-time systems models and further develop them in order to include new emerging paradigms like real-time Internet of things, mixed criticality systems, cyber-physical systems and so on, and on the other hand to mathematically analyze further these systems in terms of feasibility, resource and energy efficiency and cyber security. Because of their special requirements in terms of safety criticality, resource constraints in terms of computation power, memory, and energy, the design and development of deterministic, predictable, safe, and secure real-time and embedded systems is still a challenge.

As real-time and embedded systems have become essential to our lives, from home use, medical care, and industrial control to autonomous vehicles, space and military applications, topics like real-time scheduling and resource management, real-time communications, real-time signal-processing and acquisitions become increasingly challenging and important in the context of the current scientific advancements.

Thus, this Special Issue welcomes contributions in the area of real-time and embedded systems and their emerging applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Real-time systems models, analysis and applications.
• Embedded systems analysis and applications.
• Real-time operating systems architectures, performance analysis and applications.
• Energy efficiency in real-time embedded systems and applications.
• Resource management in real-time and embedded systems.
• Cybersecurity in real-time systems, embedded systems and edge computing.
• Internet of things.
• Mixed criticality systems.
• Edge and fog computing.
• Smart sensors.

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. 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.
