Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The objective of this Special Issue is to invite original and high-quality papers that describe research, technical aspects, or developments in real-time embedded systems architecture, software, and applications. The research on real-time embedded systems has gained great interest in the last years as a result of the ever-increasing utilization of such systems in the IoT (Internet of Things), industrial IoT, cloud, and edge computing applications. However, the challenge of keeping the development and implementation of real-time systems reliable and efficient, and at the same time low-cost and energy efficient, is becoming more difficult. Systems designers and developers are faced with the dependability, inflexibility, and often high-cost of specialized or custom-built hardware and software components. In addition, the increase in the implementations of such systems and applications in surveillance and control (e.g., in smart home, energy systems, manufacturing, automotive and autonomous vehicles, and aerospace), and their special timing requirements, in particular for mission/life-critical systems, brings new challenges and issues in real-time embedded systems. Therefore, emphasis is placed on the investigation of the current advances and trends on new designs, developments, and applications.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions in the area of embedded and real-time systems and their emerging applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Real-time embedded systems and applications (e.g., in manufacturing, IoT, ubiquitous, cloud and edge computing, mechatronics and robotics, automotive and autonomous vehicles, health-care services, smart buildings, and smart cities)
- Real-time system architectures and real-time operating systems
- Real-time systems design and analysis tools and techniques
- Energy efficient real-time systems and applications
- Real-time embedded systems performance issues

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.
