Computational Intelligence in Wireless Sensor Networks and IoT

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, thanks to the advances achieved in micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology, it is possible to mass manufacture low-cost devices that, despite their small size, have great sensing, processing, and communication capabilities. Through the networked collaboration of such devices, data concerning ambient conditions in any field of interest can be monitored and managed.  

Taking advantage of this technology, both wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have an endless range of applications. However, WSNs and the IoT face various problems that cannot be surmounted using typical mathematical approaches. Computational intelligence (CI) can provide very effective solutions to problems of this kind, thanks to its methodologies, which are inspired by mechanisms found in nature.

This Special Issue aims to present articles related to the state of the art, standards, experimentations, implementations, applications, new research proposals, and industrial case studies of CI in WSNs and the IoT. Submissions must be original and neither published in nor under consideration for any other conference or journal.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
