Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Developments in wireless communication networks, sensors, and device manufacturing have given rise to the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks. This infrastructure now serves a number of applications, ranging from geographical monitoring, medical care, manufacturing, and transportation to military and surveillance systems.
These have unique challenges that need to be met for efficient deployment and operation. Due to the resource-limited nature of networked sensor devices, the design, both at the hardware and the software level, must be energy-efficient and lightweight and at the same time guarantee the needed levels of performance and security.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform to report and present recent advances in the field. Original contributions are solicited in all the relevant issues in wireless sensor networks, including but not limited to:
- Protocols and architectures for multihop wireless sensor networks;
- Protocols and architectures for LPWANs;
- Novel protocols and architectures;
- Network security protocols;
- Privacy issues;
- Novel applications/testbeds;
- Performance evaluation.

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. 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 2400 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
