Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have been paid great attention from researchers working in various fields, such as computer science, civil engineering, management, and automatic control, due to their ability to reduce complex problems to smaller and more manageable sub-problems to autonomous entities recognized as agents. MAS are applicable in numerous areas, incorporating complex systems, smart grids, and computer network modeling. In the context of their widespread use, MAS still faces many challenges, including inter-agent coordination, security, and task distribution.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to discuss, provide and arrange pattern control methods aiming to improve the systems' maintenance stability and reliability by applying suitable modeling. The development of MAS applications related to ongoing challenges can serve as references for further studies.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
