Human Performance Sensing and Human-Structure Interactions

Dear Colleagues,

The optimal performance of complex systems not only requires both the human operator and structure to function at peak performance, but it also depends on how the two can effectively work together. Therefore, monitoring the human operator and how they interact with and control artificial structures is crucial for optimizing system performance and functionality while ensuring safety. Failure to consider the human operator and structure as an integrated system—and the failure of any one of these—can result in mission failure or poor/sub-optimal performance. This Special Issue of Sensors is soliciting contributions focused on human performance sensing and health monitoring, as well as sensing the interactions/interfaces between humans and artificial structural systems. Examples of specific topics of interest include: (1) wearable Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies and feedback mechanisms; (2) bio-marker, biochemical, and bio-molecular sensing; (3) understanding and modeling of structural responses induced by humans or animals; (4) monitoring human–structure interfaces that enhance system performance; (5) novel augmented/virtual reality and sensing data-visualization methods; (6) human-centric structural management methodologies; and (7) laboratory and field validation studies on human performance assessment and human–structure interactions.

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.
