Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in edge computing, artificial intelligence, and big data technologies have given rise to cyber-physical systems (CPS)/Internet of Things (IoT), which are emerging paradigms to meet the demands of flexibility, agility, and ubiquitous accessibility of cyberspace. The proliferation of smart devices and applications in our everyday lives have generated increasingly tremendous data. With the help of central/edge servers or other devices, smart nodes are now capable of extracting insightful analytics from collected data, providing unprecedented opportunities of data-driven economy that finds applications in diverse sectors ranging from smart health and smart transportation to predictive maintenance and smart manufacturing, etc. Despite this ongoing advancement in CPS/IoT, there are growing concerns regarding the security and privacy of data owners when they grant smart applications direct access to sensors and their data. Particularly, CPS/IoT devices are vulnerable to different kinds of attacks such as Mirai Botnet, webcam hack, DDoS attacks, etc. The intrinsic heterogeneity of data, application, hardware, and software in CPS/IoT systems further expands the attack surface and escalates the challenges of deploying universal security strategies. Furthermore, IoT-based systems that handle both security and privacy-sensitive data (i.e., data in healthcare, energy, transportation critical infrastructure systems) need to promptly react to adversarial activities and prevent the disclosure of privacy-sensitive data. Therefore, how to secure data-driven analytics is an important issue in CPS/IoT systems. This special issue aims at the state-of-the-art research efforts on secure data-driven analytics for CPS/IoT. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Reliability, consistency, robustness and security of AI in CPS/IoT
- IoT data analytics for anomaly detection
- Security management of IoT devices based on data knowledge
- Adversarial example attacks and defense in IoT Systems
- Threat modelling and risk assessment in IoT
- Security of blockchain and decentralized schemes for IoT
- Deep learning-based security solutions for intelligent CPS and IoT
- Secure and privacy-preserving CPS and IoT architectures
- Security analysis and enhancement in edge and IoT
- Privacy protection in edge computing assisted with evolving IoT
- Evaluation platforms and hardware-in-the-loop testbeds for AI-enabled IoT environments
- Foundation and application of data science in CPS/IoT systems

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. Future Internet is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
