Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart grids, smart cities, intelligent transport networks, and other real-time Internet of Things (IoT) applications generate a vast amount of data from widely dispersed sources, necessitating high computing and communication demand that frequently exceeds the needs of the users. Additionally, a number of developing IoT applications, such as remote surgery, machine monitoring and control, fault detection, and healthcare, provide jobs that are time-sensitive and demand prompt processing with the least amount of delay. Fuzzy logic and fuzzy inference systems have recently been needed to analyse IoT applications and cyber-physical systems by tracking sensed data and real-time information. The appropriate application of the fuzzy logic and fuzzy inference systems poses several challenges, including data volume and quality, integration, and the accuracy of the inferences drawn from the collected data, despite the numerous benefits of integrating them with the various intelligent frameworks for various IoT applications. Additionally, under the supervision of a central cloud/fog/edge server, fuzzy logic and fuzzy inference system are chosen to locally train the local edge/fog devices and build a global model. Due to their inherent complexity and the close interaction of computing, communication, and control with physical systems, fuzzy systems have therefore proven to provide new problems to modelling and networking. In order to provide direction for future research endeavours, the goal of this special issue is to compile original research articles as well as review articles on the most current advancements and research activities in this subject.

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.
