Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions focused on the technological advancements and innovative applications of AIoT and Edge AI. This call emphasizes technical breakthroughs in distributed computing architectures, lightweight deep learning (TinyML), heterogeneous sensor fusion, and low-power communication protocols. We specifically encourage research that demonstrates how these core technologies optimize system performance and address ESG sustainability challenges, such as energy efficiency, carbon footprint monitoring, and green supply chains. Authors should present rigorous engineering validations, highlighting measurable improvements in computational power, inference latency, and energy efficiency. We look forward to manuscripts that advance the state-of-the-art in AIoT systems while demonstrating scalable solutions for a sustainable future.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
