Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has introduced new challenges for security and privacy. The increasing number of connected devices and the growing complexity of IoT infrastructures create new security risks that need to be addressed. Cyborgs are a promising approach for securing IoT systems in terms of privacy and security. Cyborgs are human-machine systems that can be used in different areas such as health care, defense, or industrial automation. In this Special Issue on cyborgs in industrial IoT (IIoT), we aim to publish high-quality papers related to cyborgs and their applications in industrial environments.
Cyborgs have been studied extensively over recent decades in several domains, such as human-computer interaction (HCI), artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, cybersecurity, etc. However, there is still a lack of research on cyborgs in industrial environments where humans are physically interacting with machines, such as robots, or other hardware components that may have embedded computers or networked devices. This Special Issue aims at bridging this gap by focusing on various aspects related to cyborgs deployed in industrial environments, such as manufacturing plants or warehouse facilities.
The main topics include, but are not limited to:
- Human–cyborg interactions for industrial control;
- Cybersecurity for cyborgs in industrial environments;
- Privacy Issues for cyborgs in industrial environments;
- Cyborgs in IIoT;
- Cybersecurity challenges related to critical infrastructure systems;
- Privacy issues related to cyber-physical systems;
- Security architecture design for cyber-physical systems;
- Security mechanisms for cyber-physical systems;
- Application-level attacks against cyber-physical systems;
- Detection, identification, and mitigation of attacks against cyber-physical systems;
- Human-robot Interaction (HRI) in IIoT;
- Social Implications of IIoT;
- Cyborgs for IIoT applications;
- Systems engineering principles for IIoT cyborgs design;
- Human factors issues when using IIoT cyborgs;
- Human-machine interaction (HMI) in IIoT;
- Engineering methods for cyborgs in IIoT;
- Human factors and ergonomics issues in cyborgs.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
