Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the boom of technology and the economy, there is a continuously increasing demand for a better and more convenient life, with enhanced sustainability, efficiency, and resilience. Smart cities are emerging with various advanced technologies, such as infrastructure monitoring, intelligent traffic management, and greenhouse gas mitigation. Constructing a smart city is an important part of improving the quality of urban life, and the development of smart cities requires the systematic analysis of relevant data. Data processing and intelligent computing which integrate data mining, data analysis, computer vision, deep learning, computation resource allocation, task offloading, and task downloading are promising technologies for smart cities. This poses new challenges in investigating these technologies as well as their potential applications in operating and managing various aspects of smart cities. Therefore, there is a strong motivation to explore methods or solutions through innovative and connected technology and data to handle constrained, complex, large-scale, and multi-objective optimization problems for smart cities, which has attracted extensive attention from both academics and industries.
This Special Issue seeks to present new ideas and approaches in the field of smart cities. It targets a wide range of areas, including intelligent transportation systems, smart campuses, digital logistics, efficient management, etc., as well as related and recent advances in data processing and intelligent computing for different fields of smart cities, such as massive data collection and analysis, large-scale computational science, artificial intelligence, city planning, intelligent infrastructures, machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning. Simulations, datasets relevant to smart cities, and the deployment of algorithms on existing city areas are also covered.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Advanced strategies for intelligent computing;
- High-performance data analysis and processing;
- Machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning;
- Big-data-based applications, algorithms, and systems design;
- Use cases and applications for intelligent transport and logistics systems;
- Intelligent computing technologies for 5G/6G networking;
- Wireless technologies for massive data communications;
- Data security and privacy-aware communication and computing;
- Intelligent tasks allocation and scheduling for smart cities;
- Novel testing and validation methods for smart cities;
- Systematic surveys or reviews for the development of smart cities.

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.
