Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today's data-rich environment, artificial intelligence (AI) tools are playing an increasingly pivotal role in many areas of science and engineering. This has led to a surge in data science, which is becoming a powerful force in decision making. It is therefore vital to provide users with reliable, optimal and robust information about the state of the variables that govern the dynamics of processes, nature and the environment. In this context, sensors are of critical importance, as they are responsible for monitoring the value of physical quantities and detecting changes. It is therefore essential to have reliable and robust sensor systems that can accurately and consistently measure these quantities. Furthermore, to gain a deeper understanding of the subject, it is essential to consider the role of the sensor, the signal conditioning circuits, the electronic instrumentation and the correct transmission of information in human–nature interactions.
However, it is important to note that process data are often unavailable or affected by a significant amount of noise and random disturbances in both research and industry settings. It should be noted that these processes may also be multivariable, non-linear and time-varying. As a result, AI tools are not effective solutions for addressing the issues that impact these processes. The most effective method for controlling these processes is through a scientific approach that incorporates system identification, mathematical-physical modeling, robust and optimal control and the appropriate use of electronic instrumentation, sensors and actuators.
The primary objective of this Special Session is to publish works focused on the design and construction of sensor systems with applications in various scientific and engineering fields, including electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical and interdisciplinary engineering, as well as subdisciplines within these fields. Finally, papers that address innovative solutions in sensor design as well as signal conditioning and signal processing techniques for sensors are welcome.

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.
