Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) pose numerous practical and theoretical challenges that remain partially unexplored. Traditional techniques often fall short in addressing these issues efficiently and effectively due to several inherent limitations, including constrained energy and computational resources, unpredictable sensor failures, channel impairments, node mobility, untrusted or hostile deployment environments, and susceptibility to external attacks. These vulnerabilities make WSNs significantly more fragile compared to other wireless and wired networks. Designing energy-efficient algorithms and developing robust theoretical frameworks for large-scale WSNs remains a major challenge, particularly when aiming to minimize energy consumption without compromising performance. For example, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have emerged as promising solutions for overcoming these difficulties and enhancing the scalability, resilience, and efficiency of WSNs. However, many algorithmic and theoretical issues specific to large-scale WSNs have yet to be fully addressed. Therefore, the main objective of this Special Issue is to foster a deeper understanding of innovative algorithms and theoretical advancements that support the development and optimization of large-scale WSNs.

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. 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 1600 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.
