Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The objective of this Special Issue is in the design and performance analysis of system software for future computing systems and their applications. In particular, we focus on the operating system issues (e.g., caching, scheduling, allocation, optimization) with special emphasis on new hardware environments (e.g., persistent /nonvolatile memory, many-cores) and emerging systems/applications (e.g., IoT, cloud, mobile, real-time, embedded, CPS, health-care, automotive, smart factory).
Since emerging hardware media (e.g., many-core GPU, phase-change memory, ReRAM, STT-MRAM) have different performance characteristics from traditional system components (e.g., single-core CPU, SRAM cache, DRAM memory, HDD storage), we need to revisit data structures and algorithms for designing appropriate software layers.
Unlike general-purpose computer systems, future systems and their applications have a large variety of I/O devices (e.g., sensor, GPS) and special requirements (e.g., deadline, battery, memory limitations), which should be carefully considered in the design of future operating systems.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Memory/storage management for emerging hardware and applications;
- Workload characterization for future applications w.r.t OS design;
- Caching, scheduling, allocation, and optimization issues in emerging systems and applications;
- Operating system issues in various system environments (e.g., IoT, cloud, mobile, embedded, real-time, CPS, health-care, automotive, smart factory).
In this Special Issue, the extension of major conference papers, review articles, development case studies, as well as original research articles is welcome. We also encourage the authors to open the source code or materials of their developed software to the research community.

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 papers will be 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. Applied Sciences 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.
