Sensor Data Summarization: Theory, Applications, and Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Research on data summarization techniques such as coreset and sketch constructions is growing rapidly these days, and not only in its original community, theoretical computer sciences and mathematics, but also in more modern fields that use huge amounts of data from sensors, such as machine and deep learning. In recent years, we have also seen more and more papers in applied fields such as robotics, graphics, and computer vision, and new related theories in areas such as differential privacy, cryptographic, compressed sensing, and signal processing.

Due to this multidisciplinary research, results sometimes fall between the cracks: Theory-oriented people may not appreciate experimental results, while practitioners may not be interested in or understand tedious mathematical proofs. Often, by the time reviews are available and your journal version is published, the results have already been improved upon and become obsolete.

This Special Issue is dedicated to all types of aspects in sensor data summarization, including new provable constructions, related approximation algorithms, applications to streaming and parallel computations, software implementations, and systems that are based on such techniques.

Our goal is to have an exciting Special Edition with interesting high-quality results with an efficient reviewing process that is both professional and relatively fast.

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-anonymized 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.
