Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, cyber–physical systems have been widely used in the fields of intelligent manufacturing, power systems, logistics management, healthcare systems, intelligent transportation systems, robotics and computer communication networks. At a certain technical abstraction level, these systems have the characteristics of networked discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs). Under the formal framework, studying cyber–physical systems from the perspective of networked DEDSs is the key means to solve their technical application problems. Such systems are usually constructed and operated in a distributed mode with communication networks. On one hand, the use of communication networks enhances the capability and intelligence of DEDS information processing; on the other hand, it increases the risk of the system facing external cyber attacks.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect the latest advances in modeling (such as automata, timed automata, probabilistic automata, Petri nets, Markov models, Queues, max-plus algebras), security analysis, control and optimization, performance evaluation, and applications of DEDSs. Interested authors are welcome to share their academic results and practical experiences to address these challenging issues in the field.

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. 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.
