Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The complexity of modern systems has increased over the past few decades. Together with the shrinking of technology nodes, even more systems leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to cope with their ever-growing computing requirements. Some AI models like deep neural networks (DNNs) are excelling in applications like object recognition, autonomous driving, and more applications that require designing custom AI hardware accelerators cut for embedded solutions, particularly for edge devices.
Even though this is a promising solution, it could be dangerous from the perspectives of reliability and safety. Although DNNs exhibit some inherent fault tolerance, recent research reveals their susceptibility to random hardware faults, affecting application performance. Ensuring HW-DNN reliability is essential, especially for safety-critical uses.
This Special Issue is devoted to topics including but not limited to:
- Design and dependability for AI;
- Fault injection-based approaches for DNN reliability;
- On-line testing for AI systems;
- Hardening techniques for AI systems;
- Fault-tolerant/cost tradeoff for embedded AI systems;
- Fault-tolerant AI-oriented HW architectures;
- Approximate computing for AI systems.

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.
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.
