Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Security and reliability remain at the forefront of some of the main challenges that still dominate scientific research in the networking world today. These challenging properties have increased in their complexity and scale with the increasing popularity of emerging networking paradigms, in particular, the increasing ubiquity and heterogeneity of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Software Defined Networks (SDNs), among others. In fact, such paradigms are not always independent, but often include applications that overlap two or more such paradigms. We call such systems Complex Networked (CN) systems.
This Special Issue will focus on research works in any area within the main paradigms of CN systems, which cover one or more of the following topics, including works overlapping in the nature of the research problem and the approach for solving it:
- Model-driven security and reliability in CN systems;
- Application of formal methods to CN systems, including formal modeling, specification, verification and analysis of security and reliability properties in CN systems;
- Requirements engineering for capturing and expressing the security and reliability of CN systems, including the definition of new CN-specific security and reliability-focused requirements engineering methodologies;
- Data science methods, techniques, algorithms and case studies as applied to CN systems for the purpose of understanding their security and reliability properties.

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. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
