Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapidly growing Internet of Things technologies (IoT) and constantly changing threats force the developers of contemporary cybersecurity ecosystems to resolve a bundle of rapidly changing and sometimes controversial tasks. Everybody should pay for their comfort requirements, which are embedded in security, quality, and life standards. First, mobile security should be data-driven; otherwise, it will eventually be destroyed using machine learning/chatbots and many other tools available on the dark side of the Internet. The main goal of this Special Issue is the ideas, methods, and results of how to build a combination of active and passive defense instruments as a base for construction of autonomous ecosystems.

Architectures, standards, devices, control methods: each aspect of the advanced technology field under consideration gives us a small picture of a large cybersecurity puzzle task. There is no general solution; the innovative system must forecast and prepare for new, unknown types of attacks. The desired cybersecurity ecosystems include, but are not limited to, cloud/fog security applications; twin, virtual, and other modeling possibilities; methods for transfer from algorithms to autonomous evolving systems; machine learning, deep learning, the application of big datasets, the usage of reasoners, and other types of software agents, etc.

This Special Issue includes original and innovative research papers in the overlapping fields of:

  • Secured IoT and Smart City Applications;
  • Data-driven security computing;
  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning in Cybersecurity;
  • Data science applications in cyber defense systems;
  • Big data security applications;
  • Ontologies and other security knowledge/data modeling tools;
  • Cloud/edge/fog computing;
  • Architectures of industrial and other novel security systems;
  • Defense ecosystems for Industry 4.0;
  • High-performance cybersecurity computing;
  • Forensic methods against intelligent types of attacks;
  • Other corresponding research fields.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
