Advances in Signals and Systems Research

Dear Colleagues,

The 35th Irish Signals and Systems Conference (ISSC 2024), hosted by Ulster University and held in Belfast, Northern Ireland on 13–14 June 2024, has been a longstanding platform for the exchange of groundbreaking research in the fields of signals and systems. To commemorate this event and foster further knowledge dissemination, we are delighted to announce a special issue in Electronics dedicated to the advancements presented at ISSC 2024.

Over the past 34 years, ISSC has established itself as the foremost conference in Ireland, encompassing all aspects of signals and systems. The conference brings together experts and researchers from diverse backgrounds, focusing on Digital Signal Processing, Control Systems, Communications, and related fields of Information and Communication Technology. ISSC 2024 will explore topics such as algorithms, system modelling, and artificial intelligence, as well as design and implementation for a wide range of applications.

In addition to papers selected from ISSC 2024, we invite authors from around the world to contribute their research papers to our special issue. This open call for papers aims to create a broader platform for sharing the latest advancements in signals and systems research.

Aims and scopes: Prospective authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished contributions within, but not limited to, the following areas:

1. Signal Processing: This track welcomes research related to signal processing techniques, algorithms, and applications in various domains.
2. Control Systems: Contributions on control systems theory, design, and applications, including robotics and automation.
3. Cyberphysical Systems: Manuscripts exploring the integration of physical systems with computational elements and network connectivity.
4. Communications and Future Networking: Research on communication technologies, protocols, and the future of networking.
5. Cybersecurity: Papers addressing security challenges in signals and systems, including encryption, privacy, and threat detection.
6. Machine Learning and AI: Contributions in the areas of machine learning and artificial intelligence applied to signals and systems research.
7. Signals and Systems for Sustainability: Research on how signals and systems contribute to sustainable practices and environmental conservation

We look forward to receiving your contributions, whether they were presented at ISSC 2024 or are part of our open call. Your participation in this special issue will help continue the tradition of excellence established by ISSC and contribute to the growth of knowledge in these critical fields.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Electronics.

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.
