Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies entitled “WSN, IoT and Smart Residential Systems”
It is almost impossible to visualize any large practical smart system without the Internet of Things (IoT) and, of course, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). IoT helps engineers to design and develop smart systems that perform extremely well compared to conventional ones, in terms of functionality, ease of realization, cost, scalability, reconfigurability and reliability. WSNs are key central building blocks in the smart system that provides a reliable information channel for sensing and actuation at the required locations of the system at a low cost. Internet of Things-empowered WSNs are ordinarily portrayed by their capacity to remotely and unequivocally sense particular information, cross examining it and controlling the way it suits the application destinations and objectives. This empowers creative models of IoT applications that incorporate omnipresent, remote, individual social security checking, indoor and urban air quality mapping and monitoring, wellbeing monitoring of individuals in residences, and a number of extremely useful smart city applications.
For WSNs, the energy required to power the modules remains the primary difficulty that hampers the self-governing and unending operation of WSN/IoT frameworks. Energy control proficiency calculations are always being researched for specific applications of WSNs. Energy-Harvesting WSNs (EHWSNs) are promising and are expected to expand the scale of deployment of WSNs possible now. EHWSNs, regardless of whether they are completely self-sufficient or are upheld by batteries, are powered by energy harvesters that scavenge energy from the environment where they are located.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to provide a common platform for researchers in IoT, WSN and Smart Residential System to share their high-quality research and outcomes, and disseminate them to the rest of the world. The topics include novel designs, developments and management of smart systems with a focus on residential systems. The systems include energy systems, smart water supply systems, air and water quality monitoring systems, parking systems, health monitoring systems and smart waste management systems. In addition to these, notable advancements in the performance of WSN and IoT are welcome.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
