Reliability, Fault Tolerance and Safety of Electronic Devices and Systems

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue discusses the reliability, fault tolerance, and safety of electronic devices and systems. It aims to explore the latest advancements, challenges, and methodologies in electronic devices and systems analysis and focuses on the analysis, understandability, tolerance, and mitigation of faults and errors in electronic devices and systems, especially safety-critical and mission-critical applications and systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The reliability of complex systems (microprocessors, FPGA, SoCs, GPUs, etc.);
• CAD tools for the analysis, safety, and robust design of circuits and systems;
• Fault injection techniques and frameworks;
• The analysis and mitigation of transient errors;
• Validation and verification in safety-critical applications;
• Monitoring and fault detection for devices and systems;
• Fault-tolerant hardware and software architectures;
• Single-event effect analysis, modeling, and hardening;
• Error detection, correction, and recovery;
• Case studies of safety-critical applications and systems;
• Self-testing and self-repairing systems.

Dr. Corrado De Sio

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. Electronics 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.
