Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent years have been characterized by resurged and increasing interest in the study of non-linear dynamics in engineered devices and systems. While traditionally treated as a hindrance to the synthesis of effective signal processing and control solutions, non-linear dynamics, including chaotic dynamics, deeply pervade nature, including physical, chemical and biological systems. They underpin self-organization and, in particular, the energy and volume-efficient solution of highly complex computational problems. Despite the relative paucity of analysis and synthesis tools in this area, the engineering community is increasingly looking at non-linear devices, systems and networks as elegant means of solving the challenges related, for example, to distributed computing and the internet-of-things. At the same time, the centrality of non-linear dynamics to all processes taking place in neural, and more generally physiological, systems has become unquestionable, with strong implications for the design of future biomedical and bio-inspired systems.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together rather diverse branches of engineering and related disciplines, collecting original research articles, as well as review articles, on the most recent developments and research efforts in this field, with the purpose of inspiring multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research and providing guidelines for future theoretical and applied research. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Design, simulation and construction of non-linear electronic, optical and mechanical systems;
- Induction, control and modelling of emergent behaviors in networks of engineered non-linear systems;
- Applications to telecommunications and networking;
- Applications to process control, machine learning and robotics;
- Applications to pattern generation, analysis and recovery;
- Applications to analog computing and neuromorphic computing;
- Applications to the analysis of complex signals, with particular emphasis on biosignals and brain-computer interfaces.

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 System Innovation 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 1400 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.
