RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) Localization and Application

Dear Colleagues,

RFID opens new frontiers in society and industry, where a wide range of RFID-enabled applications are emerging in smart industry, logistics, smart cities, smart healthcare, safety, and security, among others. RFID involves multidisciplinary areas of research and development, encompassing a broad spectrum of science and engineering expertise. This Special Issue will collect works from diverse academic researchers and industry engineers to discern the state of the art in this emerging field. Current and future trends in the use of RFID technology will be explored for development, applicability, and performance improvement of location-awareness and motion-capture systems in many society and industry applications.

This Special Issue solicits submissions from areas relating to RFID technology to solve problems in society and industry applications, localization, wireless motion caption, protocols, security, sensors, and AI-driven sensing models and solutions. The interested topics include, but are not limited to:

• Applications and Software: RFID software, middleware, and networking; RFID in smart cities; RFID for industry 4.0; RFID in retail/healthcare; RFID in logistics and inventory management;
• Localization: Real-time locating systems, device-free localization;
• Wireless motion capture: vital sign monitoring, gesture recognition, activity sensing, etc.;
• Protocols: anti-collision, medium and/or multiple access schemes;
• Security: cryptography and privacy-enhancing techniques;
• Sensors: environmental sensing, RFID sensors;
• AI-driven sensing models and solutions.

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.
