Topology Control and Optimization for WSN, IoT, and Fog Networks

Dear Colleagues,        

This Special Issue will mainly focus on research works on Topology Control and Optimization issues for WSN, IoT, and Fog networks for several application domains such as smart health, smart grid, precision agriculture, and Industry 4.0. Wireless communication networking is essential for our daily activities, but they have become more complex. This Special Issue will highlight state-of-the-art algorithms, optimization techniques, and architectures for next-generation smart wireless networking devices, embedded devices, and pervasive computing.

The contribution topics of primary interest include, but are not limited to the following:

• Topology control optimization (2D, 3D)
• Underwater sensor topology control
• Energy-efficient communication
• Energy-efficient routing
• Wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies and trends
• IoT architectures and protocols
• Smart sensors
• Ad hoc and mesh networks
• Applications of fog computing and networking
• Cognitive sensor networks
• Cognitive fog networks
• WSN, IoT for Industry 4.0
• WSN, IoT for smart health
• WSN, IoT for precision agriculture
• WSN, IoT for smart grid
• Monitoring and control in WSN, IoT, and fog networks
• Edge and fog networking
• Biomimetic engineering 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
