Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern Cyber-Physical Systems, incorporating sensors, IoT protocols, and AI-based applications are driving the future of Smart Everything initiatives, spanning from Industry x.0 and Connected Health to Building Automation and Smart Cities. IoT protocols and standards serve as the essential connective tissue between sensors and smart applications. While IoT offers end-to-end internet connectivity, sensors often face power constraints, limited computational resources, and networking challenges due to battery operation. The complexities of Smart Everything topologies are substantial. This Special Issue aims to explore IoT-enabled Smart Everything systems that facilitate sensor–application interaction by discussing and analyzing topologies and mechanisms to overcome these challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Power-constrained wearables and static sensors;
  • Low-Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) sensor topologies;
  • Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) sensor topologies;
  • IoT Layered Architecture Protocols, Standards, and Topologies;
  • Distributed Intelligence;
  • Connected Health;
  • Industry x.0;
  • Smart Cities;
  • Vehicle to Everything (V2X);
  • Building and Home Automation;
  • Cloud, Edge, and Mist Computing;
  • AI-based applications for extracting knowledge from sensor-generated data;
  • Selective Sensing to Support Loss/Latency Goals.

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.
