Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart sensor technologies have been deployed for monitoring and control mechanisms in a wide variety of environments (e.g., smart grids, flood and water level monitoring systems, environmental monitoring, traffic monitoring and control, energy saving, remote system monitoring, industrial applications, agriculture, etc.). Smart sensors provide information on a physical environment by using embedded microprocessors and wireless communication to monitor, examine, and maintain various systems. Computational resources are an integral part of the physical design of the sensor, without being reduced to a simple task of sending data for remote processing. Significant advances in miniaturization and increased computing power allow the implementation of learning algorithms that provide high data availability, leading to intelligent and autonomous sensors with distributed sensing capabilities. Technological developments in digital signal processing are driving major changes in the sensor domain. Thus, data fusion techniques and artificial intelligence concepts are now commonly used for better exploitation of sensor data as well as for successful integration into smart sensing applications. Innovative solutions to remedy some of the drawbacks of intelligent and smart sensors (hacking, additional maintenance costs, complex recalibration procedures, IT expertise required in operation, additional energy consumption, and the management of large volumes of data) are also encouraged. The purpose of this Special Issue is to explore advanced and visionary solutions related to intelligent and smart sensors.
Academic researchers, developers, and industry practitioners are welcome to submit original research contributions dealing with intelligent and smart sensors. Additionally, application-oriented and review papers are encouraged.

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.
