Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cyber–physical systems (CPSs) are complex, engineered systems that integrate, interact and share data between physical and cyber environments. Their operations include monitoring, coordinating and controlling objects and structures in physical environments in real time. These systems are applied in various critical infrastructure domains, such as the smart grid, smart transportation, smart buildings, smart healthcare and industry 4.0. Due to their interconnected nature, CPSs are vulnerable to cyberattacks, which can lead to physical damage and disruptions. Therefore, it is crucial that CPSs are designed, implemented, operated and maintained with security in mind to ensure the reliable and secure operation of critical infrastructure.
This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to share their latest findings and advances in this rapidly evolving field from various perspectives, including but not limited to:
- CPS security architectures;
- CPS security frameworks;
- CPS safety and security integration;
- CPS security protocols;
- CPS security of components (sensors, actuators and controllers);
- CPS security networks, communication and storage;
- CPS security of services and mechanisms;
- CPS resilience to cyberattacks;
- CPS vulnerability analysis;
- CPS threat modeling;
- CPS intrusion detection, prevention and response;
- CPS anomaly detection with machine learning techniques;
- blockchain-based CPSs for security and privacy;
- CPS and digital twin security requirements;
- CPS forensics;
- CPS authentication mechanisms and access controls;
- CPS security case studies;
- CPS security testing and validation;
- CPS security applications (e.g., smart grid, buildings, automotives, transport, healthcare, industry, among others).

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. Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks 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 2000 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.
