Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart sensors and sensor networks are advanced technologies that are increasingly present in various aspects of modern society and industry. Smart sensors are advanced devices with additional capabilities that collect, process, and transmit data about physical conditions or the environment, such as: temperature, humidity, pressure, brightness, sound, and more. These sensors are essentially complex mechatronic systems that use embedded processors and software to analyze the collected data, allowing them to make decisions or perform actions without direct human observation. Sensor networks are groups of these intelligent sensors that are interconnected, most often wirelessly, to collect and share data within a specific space or system. The ability of sensor networks to automatically process and exchange information makes them extremely useful for a wide range of applications, including environmental monitoring, smart buildings, precision agriculture, healthcare, industrial automation, autonomous cars, and many other fields. The proposed special session aims to showcase the most recent theoretical and experimental advancements in smart sensors and sensor networks. It will encompass a wide range of topics, from mathematical techniques for enhancing measurement accuracy to innovations in sensor materials and technologies. This scientific gathering will unite researchers from diverse academic disciplines to foster the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and collaboration within the multidisciplinary realm of sensor research. Moreover, the session will offer early-career scientists the chance to familiarize themselves with the latest developments, research trends, unresolved questions, and prospects in this dynamic field of study.

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.
