Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following on from the previous Special Issues “Architectures, Protocols and Algorithms of Sensor Networks” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/architectures_protocols_algorithms_wsn) and “Architectures, Protocols and Algorithms of Sensor Networks—Second Edition” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/483B2JD347), we once again welcome our colleagues from around the world to submit original research articles and reviews for our latest Special Issue, “Architectures, Protocols and Algorithms of Sensor Networks—Third Edition”.
This Special Issue will showcase research on all types of architectures, protocols, and algorithms designed for innovative applications of sensor networks. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- New architectures of wired and wireless sensor networks;
- Application-aware communication protocols for sensor networks;
- Data management in sensor networks;
- Signal-processing algorithms for sensor networks;
- In-network data processing and analysis;
- Smart sensing and embedded machine learning algorithms;
- Power management in wireless sensor networks;
- Data transmission reduction in sensor networks;
- Localization and tracking algorithms for sensor networks;
- Mobility management in sensor networks;
- Synchronization algorithms for sensor networks;
- Information security in sensor networks.

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.
