Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are witnessing a continuous increase in the human population, which has led to a growth in agriculture, breeding, industrial activities, and, ultimately, energy consumption. This growth is strongly related to far-reaching issues such as the reduction of air, water, and soil quality. These areas are essential to ensuring good health for humans and all living beings. Other issues of rising importance, which mainly affect large cities, are noise and light pollution. Among their harmful effects are mood disorders and their impact on human and animal circadian rhythms, which regulate the alternation of sleep and wakefulness. These issues have made it vital to develop advanced monitoring applications and devices that ensure compliance with regulations and laws and mitigate the risks of harmful effects on the environment and living beings.
This Special Issue focuses on techniques that allow us to obtain information about the environment and the living beings immersed in it to carry out appropriate assessments and, where necessary, take adequate countermeasures. Using sensors with secure networks and protocols is essential in order to obtain and transfer these sorts of data for storage and analysis. This analysis can be performed manually by humans, through graphs and screens, or automatically through systems that use artificial intelligence or ad hoc algorithms, which are eventually run at the edge or are, in general, suitable for the concept of the computing continuum, which is targeted, among others, by European Commission KDT JU- and Chips JU-funded projects.
Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Biomedical monitoring;
- Edge-AI computing;
- Embedded systems;
- Environmental monitoring;
- Signal processing.

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.
