Sensing in Internet of Things and Smart Sensor Networks

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things represents an important direction of development as the next generation of sensor networks, with emerging technologies such as smart sensors, cyber-physical systems, big data and artificial intelligence.

The objective of this Special Issue is to highlight the importance of sensing in the IoT as an interface with the physical world, emphasizing the sensing level from an IoT architecture perspective, providing a great opportunity, on the one hand, to reanalyze the sensor nodes' architectures and, on the other hand, to push this field further in new directions by considering the stringent issues of privacy and security in relation to the IoT and the challenges imposed by the computational resources and power management at the edge level.

Thus, this Special Issue welcomes contributions related to sensing in the IoT and its emerging applications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

• IoT sensing level and its applications
• Smart sensor node architectures and applications
• IoT architectures
• Communication protocols in the IoT
• Cybersecurity in the IoT
• Energy management/ power efficiency in the IoT
• Efficient resource management in the IoT
• Edge computing in the IoT

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.
