Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,

Software-defined networking (SDNs) has evolved in the last decade to empower users and their applications and allow them to better optimize network and bandwidth usage. As a result, SDN creates a wave of impacts on several technologies and applications, such as security controls, wireless networks, smart phones, wide area networks, etc. This eventually integrates with relevant research trends such as autonomous security controls and adversarial machine learning, where the goal is to build intelligence in network and security components and controls and enable them to adjust and adapt to their environments, applications, user needs, etc. In this scope, this call for papers looks for research papers within the integration of SDN, cyber security, and machine learning.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

Research on SDN testbeds related to cyber security;
Autonomous security controls;
Autonomous IDS/IPS and firewalls;
Automatic and adversarial machine learning;
Wireless and mobile programmable security.

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. 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 1400 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.
