Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The primary goal of FOAN is to bring together and present the latest research in the field of fiber optics technologies aimed at end-users, both residential and business users. The idea behind the workshop is to create an opportunity to learn new things by gathering scientists and experts from academia, industry, and operators in the field that will share their knowledge, experience, and ideas during the workshop.
FOAN2022 will be held on Oct. 11–12 2022, together with ICUMT2022. It consists of eight topics and regular and special sessions (https://foan.info/foan2022).
The main goal of this Special Issue, “Selected Papers from FOAN2022”, is to present the latest advances in research and novel applications of engineering and technology, especially a wide variety of sensor technologies from sensor devices and systems, to their applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Sensor networks/systems in broadband networks in home/office areas;
- IoT/sensor data transmission;
- Sensor materials/plasmatic nano-structures;
- IoT/sensor/actuator devices;
- Optical sensors/fiber optic sensors/free space optics sensors;
- IoT/sensor modules/integration;
- Biomedical sensing;
- IoT/sensor data analysis;
- IoT/sensor applications;
- Energy harvesting.

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. Sensors 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
