Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the evolution of Industry 4.0 toward the resilient and human centric view of Industry 5.0, the importance of industrial sensor networks increased even more. Significant savings and redundant parallel information paths can be achieved by means of continuously connected devices and machines. However, the Industrial Internet of Things, where sensors and instruments are placed on a wide area or mobile systems, remains hugely challenging.
In such cases, wireless or other innovative technology is often mandatory, because of intrinsic incompatibilities (the mobile device cannot use wires) or high cost of wired infrastructure to cover large (geographical) areas. In recent years, the 5G revolution and the advent of specialized wireless protocols for low-power wide area networks have boosted Internet-connected devices’ diffusion also in industry. The combination of new technologies has a very positive impact on sensor networks for “production” and “monitoring of product” in the era of the Industrial Internet of Things.
This Special Session is focused on solutions for scenarios or situations where sensor networks are deployed in industrial areas.
Submissions are welcomed on (but not limited to):
- Industrial sensors and IoT;
- Virtual sensors, soft sensors, sensor interfacing with Industrial IoT;
- Wearables and body sensor networks for workers;
- Sensors for continued tracking of product data after sale (digital twin);
- Wireless sensor networks for the Industrial Internet of Things;
- Short-range wireless networks for the Industrial Internet of Things;
- Bluetooth LE applications to the Industrial Internet of Things;
- 5G/4G applications to the Industrial Internet of Things;
- LPWAN systems for the Industrial Internet of Things;
- Connected industrial vehicles equipped with sensors systems;
- Distributed mobile IoT sensor systems;
- Wireless sensor localization in industrial IoT applications;
- Sensor-based measurement systems for the Industrial Internet of Things;
- Large scale deployment of sensors (e.g., environment monitoring, fire detection) in the industrial context;
- Cloud architectures to manage scalable sensor systems and sensing data platform for massive deployment in an industrial scenario;
- Security of sensor network in the Industrial Internet of Things;
- Applications of IoT sensors and systems to large industrial plants.

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.
