Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intelligent Systems refer to software systems that exhibit behaviors perceived as intelligent and capable of performing tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These systems leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to autonomously make decisions, solve problems, learn from experiences, and adapt to new situations.
Intelligent Systems are increasingly applied in Information Security to enhance the detection, prevention, and response to various cyber threats. Intelligent Systems can analyze vast amounts of data in real-time to identify patterns and anomalies that might indicate security breaches, malware, and other threats. When a security threat is detected, intelligent systems can automatically take actions such as isolating affected systems, blocking malicious IP addresses, or initiating incident response protocols. Intelligent systems also track and analyze user behavior to detect insider threats or compromised accounts based on deviations from normal activity patterns.
This Special Issue, “Intelligent Systems and Information Security”, welcomes submissions of recent and original research work on this promising application area. The call is open to a broad thematic range of papers covering recent applications of AI and ML to intrusion detection and prevention, threat intelligence and incident response, OPSEC, secure software development, etc.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Cloud and network security;
- Endpoint security;
- IoT security;
- Critical Infrastructures security;
- Mobile/wireless/5G security;
- Biometric techniques;
- Intrusion detection and prevention;
- Operating system and application fingerprinting;
- Risk assessment and risk management;
- Vulnerability classification and management;
- Threat intelligence;
- Side-channel attacks;
- Automated incident response;
- User behavior analytics;
- Fraud detection;
- Digital forensics;
- Security operations;
- IT auditing and ethical hacking;
- Software development security, including (web) applications, operating systems, and fuzz-testing;
- Secure voting.

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.
