Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Fifth Generation (5G) communication and Internet of Things (IoT) is expected not only to make it possible to collect and disseminate information for various crowd-sensing services in densely populated environments, but also to put forward higher request on these services with the rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) to provide diverse services and applications in smart cities and societies, which integrate information and communication technologies, smart sensing, analysis and processing solutions to reduce costs and resource consumption, enhance performance, and connect and engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. This vast and semi-structured collection of city and citizen-related data provides many opportunities for the development of smart applications. In addition to IoT, cyber-physical systems, software-defined sensor networks, sensing as a service, and intelligence-based big data processing on sensing data are leading to the transformation of conventional services, which also needs effective machine-learning or data-mining techniques, novel data-acquisition and processing methodologies to support all kinds of smart applications, such as smart energy, smart driving, smart homes, smart living, smart governance, and smart health. Thus, AIoT-related techniques can accelerate the content deliveries and improve the quality of services and smart applications, an issue which is attracting more and more attention from academia and industry because of its advantages in throughput, delay, network scalability and intelligence. Meanwhile, AIoT also brings us new challenges, such as costs, communications, data processing and management, security and privacy issues.
The objective of this Special Issue is to present a collection of high-quality research papers that report the latest research advances addressing the related challenges and perspectives in the area of AIoT-enabled smart applications. Specific topics include but are not restricted to the following:
- Physical layer challenges in AIoT
- Cross-layer solutions in AIoT
- Device-to-device networks for AIoT
- Novel sensory data-acquisition techniques in AIoT
- Security, privacy, and trust in AIoT
- Computing and sensing infrastructures
- Data management in AIoT
- Sensing as a service in AIoT
- Cyber-physical systems for AIoT
- Self-learning for pattern discovery, prediction, auto-configuration in AIoT
- Smart users experience in AIoT
- AIoT-driven smart governance, smart economy, and smart environments
- AIoT-driven smart energy, smart driving, smart homes, smart living,
- AIoT-enabled COVID-19 analysis and smart health
- Deployment, test bed, experimental experiences, and innovative applications

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. Electronics 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 2000 CHF (Swiss Francs).
