Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless sensor networks are enabling innovative and interesting applications ranging from smart homes and smart cities to precision agriculture and advanced healthcare. Despite the many recent efforts in the development of several sensing mechanisms, it is not difficult to see the vast research space still open. The trend of digital transformation, accelerated by the recent pandemic situation, has pushed the need to collect more data, with higher flexibility, exploring all communication technologies (including the emerging 5G), but also with greater security and very restricted power requirements, within view of the desired sustainability and increased quality of life—a balance that is far from being reached and requires a lot of research, both in terms of sensor technology and the infrastructures that must support them and which, in themselves, constitute very complex systems.
This Special Issue invites authors of selected papers from S-CUBE 2020 (11th International Conference on Sensor Systems and Software), part of the 5th annual Smart City 360˚Summit, to submit an extended version of their work.

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.
