Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cyber physical systems (CPSs) provide a seamless integration between the physical and cyber world. They combine sensor networks with embedded computers that monitor and control the physical environment, i.e., electromechanical systems such as robots, drones, vehicles, etc. CPSs can be autonomous or human CPSs (HCPSs) that also model the interaction between humans and the CPS. In HCPSs, the human users and operators of CPSs should be considered an integral part of the system since CPSs in many complex systems are meant to assist/collaborate with their human users. HCPSs are also fundamental architectural blocks in cyber physical systems of systems (CPSoS). CPSoS require a holistic, cognitive, and decentralized way of designing, running and decommissioning cyber physical system (CPS) components of the system or even the CPSoS as a whole. AI and ML techniques should be used to make the highly complex and hard-to-manage design of CPSoS feasible. A CPSoS can be viewed as three different architectural blocks that are interconnected to handle the CPSoS heterogeneity and complexity. These blocks are the CPSoS system layer block, the CPSoSaware simulation and training block, and the CPSoSaware CPS/CPHS layer block.
Topics of primary interest include but are not limited to:
- Functional and nonfunctional requirements in HCPSs;
- Design, simulation, and integration of HCPSs;
- HCPS software solutions implemented in CPUs, GPUs, embedded systems, and mobile devices;
- Implementation of HCPS components in hardware using FPGAs and ASICs;
- Communication technologies in HCPS systems;
- HCPS applications in autonomous and communicating vehicles;
- HCPS applications in industry and manufacturing.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
