Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Embedded systems are special-purpose computer systems designed to perform specific tasks whilst coping with constrained resources, such as processing power, memory, energy, communication, and networking. They are also used to manage the need to interface with sensors and actuators and are employed in a wide range of applications, including transportation, manufacturing, robotics, automotive, home appliances, telecommunications, and commercial industries. These limitations make the development of embedded applications a challenging task, requiring specific programming paradigms and methodologies.

The goal of this Special Issue on "Applications Enabled by Embedded Systems" is to collect scientific manuscripts that explore both the practical and theoretical aspects associated with the development of embedded systems and their applications. This Special Issue welcomes contributions that showcase innovative and inspiring applications of embedded systems, including the full stack of technologies involved in modern embedded applications: development of software, integration within a larger system, deployment, and management.

Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Agriculture
  • Automation (household, entertainment)
  • Automotive, railway, and aerospace
  • Energy systems, smart meters
  • Healthcare
  • Household appliances
  • Industrial machines
  • Robotics
  • Security control
  • Smart cities and smart villages
  • Smart grid, home, and building automation
  • Telecommunications
  • Wearable 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. 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.

Recently, an increasing number of people have employed do-it-yourself (DIY) and do-it-with-others (DIWO) techniques and processes to develop unique technology products. This trend is commonly called the maker movement and fosters the creation of own electronic and mechanical devices and tools. Oscilloscopes are really useful tools to diagnose problems and analyze electronic devices and electrical circuits, and thus they should not stay outside this trend. To contribute to this field, an architecture to make low-cost portable digital oscilloscopes is proposed. The proposal is mainly based on general-purpose microcontrollers and operational amplifiers. Following this approach, a portable oscilloscope with two input channels, a graphic display, a synchronism detector, internal and external triggers, and a digital signal analyzer function is designed. Furthermore, different options for the implementation are proposed and discussed. Full article
