Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Contemporary information technology infrastructures are becoming increasingly complex, interconnected and employ a strongly growing variety of different assets and (electronic) gadgets. This trend towards the Internet of things creates new challenges and opportunities on both sides, for the defender and the attacker, which are largely unexplored so far. The power of game theory to model complex interactions between entities with conflicting interests has long been recognized for security, but game theoretic approaches to the complex domain of advanced persistent threats are still rare. The special issue therefore calls for work on modeling and complex multi-stage attacks, that can involve cyber-attacks, physical intrusion, as well as combinations and variations thereof. Accurate models are, therefore, expectedly as heterogeneous, and combining different models to describe the complex circumstances that make infrastructures vulnerable is a demanding challenge.
The Special Issue is also open to receiving regular submissions that discuss a relevant topic.

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. Games 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 1600 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.
