Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last few years have witnessed the rapid emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), and further exponential growth is expected to take place in the coming decade. The possible application domains of IoT systems are virtually limitless, including connected health, smart homes, smart cities, industrial automation, and many more.
In this context, electronics will play a major role in the realization of key enabling technologies that are essential to the efficient implementation of such IoT systems. Indeed, advances in topics such as micro-, nano-, and bio-electronics are paramount to the realization of a wide range of miniaturized sensors; low-energy signal processing and computing devices; and low-power, low latency, highly reliable wireless connectivity.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to disseminate recent works on hot topics appealing to a wide audience on cross cutting issues related to the above. We are especially interested in contributions related but not necessarily limited to the following elements of IoT systems:
- Micro- and nano-electronics devices and materials for IoT components, e.g., advanced silicon CMOS technology generations (10 nm or less), molecular electronics, nanowires, and nanotubes;
- Bio-electronics devices and techniques, e.g., biosensors, micro/nanopatterning, and bioimpedance designed or optimized for IoT systems;
- Resource and interference management in wireless communication technologies for the IoT, both cellular (e.g., NB-IoT, LTE Cat M1) and non-cellular (e.g., LoRa, SigFox);
- Prognostics and health management for the IoT components and applications;
- IoT applications and business cases that demonstrate or exploit state-of-the-art key enabling technologies.
This is an open call. We will consider both new papers and extended conference papers (in particular but not limited to ICESI 2019, http://icesi2019.globalconf.org/).
The authors of a paper previously published in conference proceedings should (1) clearly refer to their conference paper in the introduction of their journal paper and (2) extend their conference paper by at least 50%. There are no page limitations for this journal.
Equal weight will be given to all papers during the review process.

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 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.
