Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Wearable Devices and Sensors for Innovative Monitoring Systems in the 4.0 Era”.
While the concept of Industry 4.0 has become widely known, the principles and driving forces of this new paradigm have started leveraging other application contexts, such as healthcare, public administration, and agriculture, to name a few examples. This has led to the adoption of a more comprehensive and general expression, Era 4.0, which perfectly indicates the pervasiveness of this concept.
The concept of the 4.0 Era relies on several enabling technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), and especially on the acquisition and processing of data gathered from sensors and systems. These sensors must allow monitoring not only the operating environment i.e., machineries, workflow, digital paper trails, but also the people who operate in it.
In this regard, a major research challenge still remains—the need to facilitate a seamless interaction of the people/users with the sensory environment and with the IoT infrastructure, possibly without compromising the user’s comfort and activities.
In such a context, wearable sensors and monitoring systems represent the best candidates to facilitate this process and may become the new interface between the “real” and the digital world.
With these considerations in mind, the present Special Issue welcomes research contributions focused on innovative wearable devices and sensing solutions for monitoring systems in the 4.0 Era.
The topic of the proposed Special Issue encompasses most of the areas that are included in the aims and scope of the Sensors journal, namely:
- Physical sensors;
- Sensor networks;
- Smart/Intelligent sensors;
- Sensor devices;
- Sensor technology and application;
- Sensing principles;
- Micro- and nano-sensors;
- Internet of Things;
- Signal processing, data fusion, and deep learning;
- In-sensor systems;
- Sensor interface;
- Human–computer interaction;
- Sensing systems;
- MEMS/NEMS;
- Localization and object tracking.

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. 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.
