Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the areas based on smart networks where interconnected and autonomously managed interactive devices and sensor nodes are connected for different services. The main objective of these networks is to intelligently sense and monitor the data and forward them for further processing. Edge- and cloud-based networks are connected with IoT networks to facilitate users by using wireless and wireless mediums. Routing and data communication is one of the fundamental requirements for IoT networks. Routing is always one of the significant areas for these networks. Advanced communication technologies are adopted such as Wi-Fi, 5G, and short- and long-range communication technologies. However, traditional wired network solutions do not perform well against more complex IoT services and massive data processing. This Special Issue covers the IoT network requirements, data center networks, massively parallel mining networks, hyperconnected networks, and edge-based analytics networks protocols and communication standards. Additionally, review articles which provide detailed 5G mobile network integration for high-speed data communication in IoT networks are also welcome. The potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Routing protocols for IoT and sensor networks;
- Layer-based data communication solutions;
- New emerging standards and architectures for IoT and sensor networks;
- New applications and services for IoT and sensor networks;
- Green energy-efficient protocols for IoT and WSN;
- Energy harvesting/scavenging for WSN and IoT;
- Security, trust, and privacy architectures for WSN and IoT;
- Future trends for IoT and WSN networks;
- IoT resource management and monitoring;
- IoT platforms for smart homes and industries;
- Big data analytics and distributed networks;
- Blockchain solutions for IoT and WSN networks;
- SDN and edge networks for IoT and WSN networks.

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. 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.
