Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The communication model of the Internet of Things has gained an important space within telecommunications and data science, due to its applications and versatility. IoT systems allow information to be obtained from all things, and to control various types of processes using actuators and sensors. This has encouraged researchers from different fields of electronics and computing engineering to offer alternatives and mechanisms for an intelligent, efficient, reliable, and secure deployment of the IoT through networking solutions that guarantee its availability.
In this Special Issue, we focus on the resilience of IoT systems. Resilience can be defined as the ability of certain systems to recover and continue to function after being affected by an unexpected event. In IoT, resilience involves not only networking aspects but also the applications that facilitate deployment of the offered services. For example, the networks that connect the devices in the IoT are exposed to different and unexpected events, the same ones that can alter their operation and even stop transmitting if they do not have the automatic reconfiguration characteristics, interrupting the data collection process and device control.
Considering this situation, for this Special Issue, we seek proposals focused on resilience in IoT networks, offering systems that are smart enough to reconfigure after unexpected events, maintaining the availability of IoT service.
We invite submissions related to resilient IoT solutions, including but not limited to:
- Reconfigurable sensor networks
- Opportunistic networks (OppNets)
- Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN)
- IoT based on OppNets and DTN
- Resilient in long-range and short-range topologies
- Security issues in IoT
- IoT without Internet
- Hybrid IoT infrastructures
- Smart vehicular networks supporting IoT
- Simulation and modeling IoT protocols
- Smart devices and services
- Novel wireless standards (LoRa, SigFox, etc.)
- Intelligent routing for IoT
- Green computing
- Fog computing
- Smart collaboration for IoT
- Autonomic computing for smart cities

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.
