Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things, physical systems are being integrated to become more complex and large-scale and attain characteristics typical of cyber–physical systems. For the modeling and control of these complex physical systems, theory and methods of discrete event systems play an increasingly important role. Significant effort has been devoted to developing discrete event systems in the last two decades. However, many theoretical problems with this framework remain, as their application is limited to small case studies, with their application to problems of industrial relevance remaining a challenge. The proposed Special Issue will focus on new approaches in the DES framework and their applications for developing all kinds of complex physical systems.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Supervisory control of discrete event systems and cyber–physical systems;
- State estimation of discrete event systems, including models such as automata, PN nets, etc.;
- Fault diagnosis of discrete event systems including systems under network circumstances subject to network delays, packet losses, and other issues;
- Analysis and enforcement of information security for networks, especially under cyber attacks, within the discrete event system framework.
- Application of discrete event systems to complex physical systems;
- Property analysis and verification of formal methods and their applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Mathematics 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 2600 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.
