Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the foreseen growths in the semiconductor industry is propelled by the Internet of Things (IoT), from servers down to end-nodes just at the interface between humans and cyber-physical systems. The rapid adoption of multi-function devices for societal comfort is driving a change of electronics. The low power end-nodes will provide all kinds of data such that servers will implement the massive cloud-based applications they enable. From a technological perspective, end-nodes are platforms where the knowledge of many domains comes together, from hardware to software. In fact, the swift progress of end-nodes in the healthcare and fitness domains is spreading into other segments like gaming, transportation, industrial, and fashion. The common denominator of these devices is energy consumption since they will be running on small energy supply sources and even on harvesting.
End-nodes are evolving from sophisticated sensor hubs to platforms with cognitive capabilities. In other words, hardware that mimics in some ways human intelligence such as understanding, planning, deciding, and judging as they are fully integrated with perceiving and acting of cyberphysical events. Intelligent hardware technologies that discover and take advantage of contextual information to perform complex data mining and event classification operations must dynamically balance Quality of Experience versus energy budget.
This special issue is soliciting papers in the field of intelligent IoT end nodes. In particular, papers addressing
- Technology thrust considering computing power, connectivity, and merger of Internet of Things with cognitive systems with smart interactions with the physical world
- Usability of new technologies, e.g. machine-machine and human-machine interfaces for cyberphysical systems
- Power autonomy and (near) perpetual operation of end-nodes

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. Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1800 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
