Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the increasing demand for real-time, data-driven decisions have transformed smart sensing systems into a critical component of modern technological ecosystems. At the forefront of this evolution is edge intelligence—the fusion of edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI)—which enables smart sensors and embedded devices to analyze data locally, reducing latency, preserving bandwidth, and enhancing data privacy.
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances, challenges, and future directions in the development and deployment of edge intelligence solutions for smart sensing applications. It aims to bring together researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to explore how machine learning, deep learning, federated learning, and neuromorphic computing can be applied at the edge to enable adaptive, autonomous, and energy-efficient sensing systems.
By emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches and real-time performance constraints, this Special Issue welcomes contributions that bridge theory and practice, demonstrating how edge intelligence can reshape the capabilities of smart sensing systems in complex, resource-constrained environments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
- lightweight AI models for edge devices;
- hardware–software co-design;
- sensor fusion;
- context-aware sensing;
- edge-based anomaly detection;
- real-world deployment in domains such as environmental monitoring, healthcare, industrial automation, transportation, and smart cities.

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.
