Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue provides a platform for research on the processing of sensor signals, both at the edge and in large-scale data warehouses. Recent advances in machine learning and signal processing have driven significant progress in areas such as signal classification, fault detection, speech recognition, and industrial automation. With an estimated 14 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices currently in use—ranging from smart lighting systems and cell phones to power tools and industrial equipment—the volume of sensor data being generated continues to expand exponentially. As this growth accelerates, efficient data processing closer to the device has become increasingly important. The integration of edge and embedded processing power, specialized signal processing hardware, and compact neural network architectures has enabled machine learning at the edge, resulting in intelligent devices capable of adapting to user needs. Additionally, processing sensor signals collected in data warehouses enables the application of sophisticated signal processing and deep machine learning algorithms. This Special Issue welcomes original research and review articles addressing the processing of sensor signals using machine learning techniques—both in edge and embedded environments and in data warehouse or cloud-based frameworks.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
