Sensors and Pattern Recognition Methods for Security and Industrial Applications (SPR-SIA)

Dear Colleagues,

Contemporary cyberthreats keep on evolving, powering the neverending development arms race. Critical and industrial applications are particularly sensitive to both cyber and physical attacks, placing novel security solutions in high demand.

In this Special Issue of Sensors, it is our driving idea to invite high-quality papers which open the doors to accommodating new AI paradigms, approaches, and mechanisms in the domain of applied security. This includes pattern recognition, data analysis, and machine learning for industrial applications, including e-commerce.

The Special Issue will also present novel sensors (e.g., drones, IoT) used for security as well as innovative solutions for secure software development.

Relevant topics include but are not limited to the following:

• security of IoT
• security of cloud, fog, and edge networks
• security and sensors in e-commerce
• machine learning (shallow and deep) in security and industrial applications
• sensors for security and industrial applications
• innovative pattern recognition solutions
• practical applications of AI in security
• practical applications of AI in industrial applications
• AI methods for threat prediction, detection, and mitigation
• anomaly detection methods
• AI and machine learning for secure software
• biometrics
• secure AI solutions
• countering and detection of adversarial attacks

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Sensors 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.
