With the rapid development of computing, communication and sensing technology, recent years have seen an ever-increasing research interest in the study of distributed cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems may be generically defined as a group of dynamical systems in which both cyber layer (computer/communication/control) and physical layer (plant models) coexist. The behaviors of cyber-physical systems are exhibited through the local interaction among subsystems that individually have the capability of self-operating. Engineered cyber-physical systems have been developed and studied as seen in robotic networks, power grids, computer networks, and sensor networks. In particular, those systems have found a wide range of potential applications in surveillance and reconnaissance, cooperative exploration for search and rescue missions, environmental sensing and monitoring, cooperative transportation, and congestion and flow control of networks. The International Journal of Cyber-Physical Systems (IJCPS) aims at presenting the state-of-the-art on controls of distributed cyber-physical systems. The particular focus is on distributed control, estimation, optimization and applications of networked cyber-physical systems. The journal provides a venue for disseminating research outcomes on unraveling the structure, security, system properties, and efficient control strategies of networked cyber-physical systems.

Motivated by the efficiency, flexibility and robustness exhibited by natural multiagent systems, engineered cyber-physical systems have been developed and studied as seen in robotic networks, power grids, computer networks, and sensor networks. In particular, those systems have found a wide range of potential applications in surveillance and reconnaissance, cooperative exploration for search and rescue missions, environmental sensing and monitoring, cooperative transportation, and congestion and flow control of networks. The mission of the International Journal of Cyber-Physical Systems (IJCPS) is to provide an additional, broad, and in-depth venue to present the state-of-the-art on controls on distributed cyber-physical systems. The particular focus is on distributed control, estimation, security, optimization and applications to networked cyber-physical systems.

View Full Editorial PolicyArticle Processing Charge (APC):
Payment of the APC fee (directly to the publisher) by the author or a funding body is not required until AFTER the manuscript has gone through
the full double-blind peer review process and the Editor(s)-in-Chief at his/her/their full discretion has/have decided to accept the manuscript based
on the results of the double-blind peer review process.
What Does IGI Global's Open Access APC Cover?
In the traditional subscription-based model, the cost to the publisher to produce each article is covered by the revenue generated by journal subscriptions.
Under OA, all the articles are published under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license; therefore, the authors or funding body will pay a one-time
article processing charge (APC) to offset the costs of all of the activities associated with the publication of the article manuscript, including:
- Digital tools used to support the manuscript management and review process
- Typesetting, formatting and layout
- Online hosting
- Submission of the journal's content to numerous abstracts, directories, and indexes
- Third-party software (e.g. plagiarism checks)
- Editorial support which includes manuscript tracking, communications, submission guideline checks, and communications with authors and reviewers
- All promotional support and activities which include metadata distribution, press releases, promotional communications, web content, ads, fliers, brochures, postcards, etc. for the journal and its published contents
- The fact that all published articles will be freely accessible and able to be posted and disseminated widely by
the authors - Professional line-by-line English language copy editing and proofreading*
*This service is only performed on article manuscripts with fully paid (not discounted or waived) APC fees.
APC Subsidizing and Funding
To assist researchers in covering the costs of the APC in OA publishing, there are various sources of OA funding.
Additionally, unlike many other publishers, IGI Global offers flexible subsidies, 100% Open Access APC funding, discounts, and more.

IGI Global recognizes that many researchers may not know where to begin when searching for OA funding opportunities. IGI Global recently launched an
Open Access Funding Resources page for researchers to browse.
This page provides a comprehensive list of OA funding sources available for researchers to secure funds for their various OA publications.
This journal is currently actively seeking new submissions. Interested authors should ensure that their article manuscript adheres to the journal's
submission guidelines
and
before you write page,
which include originality of the manuscript, APA formatting information and examples, manuscript requirements, and more. To submit an article for consideration,
please begin the submission process below.
