Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid advances in smart sensing technologies have provided new tools to collect signals for system health monitoring in different engineering sectors, such as mechanical, electrical, civil, and chemical engineering. Reliable monitoring information can be used in predictive maintenance to improve production quality, operation safety, and reliability, as well as to reduce maintenance costs. On the other hand, the application of smart sensor networks can provide a large amount of data with high variety and pose significant challenges on the signal processing side. Artificial intelligence provides a promising approach for effective learning and decision-making for complex and integrated systems. This Special Issue focuses on smart sensor technology and its applications in health condition monitoring across different domains and engineering sectors. We welcome original research contributions and state-of-the-art reviews from academia and industry. The Special Issue topics include but are not limited to the following:
Smart sensor technology (e.g., vibration, temperature, humidity, and electric current);
Sensor networks and internet of things (IOT);
Design, implementation, and testing of sensing systems;
Fault detection and diagnosis of different engineering systems using sensor data;
Prognostics and health management;
Artificial intelligence for health condition monitoring;
Machine learning and deep learning to improve decision-making efficiency;
Intelligent manufacturing and control;
Energy harvesting for sensor networks；
Applications in different engineering disciplines.

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.
