Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent decade has witnessed revolutionary developments in various layers of networking. In this Special Issue, we aim to attract contributions reflecting novel applications and/or new developments of mathematical approaches (e.g., integer linear programming, combinatorial optimization approaches, queueing theory, graph theory, exact/approximation/online algorithms, decomposition-based approaches) in the arising network paradigms. We are particularly interested in studies concerning the modelling, analysis, and optimization of emerging network problems in the following (nonexhaustive) list of domains:
- Software-defined networks;
- Network virtualization;
- Network function virtualization;
- Edge/fog/cloud computing;
- Internet of Things (IoT);
- Optical networks;
- Social networks;
- Vehicular networks.

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.
