Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the integration of cyber-physical systems (CPS) are reshaping the landscape of network architecture. This Special Issue, “Network Architectures for IoT and Cyber-Physical Systems”, seeks to explore the innovative design, optimization, and security challenges that are pivotal in these domains. As we push the boundaries of what is possible, we invite contributions that offer novel insights into the development and deployment of robust, scalable, and secure network architectures.
This issue aims to gather leading research that addresses the complex interplay between connectivity, computational demands, and security in IoT and CPS environments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, AI-driven network management, advanced security protocols, data integrity in distributed networks, and the implications of quantum technologies in securing communications.
We look forward to your contributions that not only discuss technological advancements but also consider the practical implications and challenges facing today’s rapidly evolving digital ecosystems.

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.
