Special Issue Information
In recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have started to become more pervasive. The introduction of emergent paradigms like Internet of Things and Edge and Fog Computing are renewing interest in sensor networks because simple sensors can now become more complex micro-devices that are able to sense multiple parameters and do actuations in the environment where they work. Moreover, WSNs can be integrated in new vehicles, in drones, in health applications, and in office/home/building. This Special Issue is related to some topics that need to be dealt with through modeling in these new generations of sensors that can belong to different application domains—in particular, aspects related to QoS management to provide some constraint satisfaction, such as delay, energy, bandwidth; issues related to security and privacy; and issues related to the integration of WSNs with actuator networks and integration of WSNs in new applicative contexts, such as drones, connected and smart vehicles, home and building, office, and e-Health. All these issues related to different contexts such as those listed above need a modeling and simulation approach that can allow the creation of an environment which is reproducible, flexible, and extendable to different user cases. All aspects related to the modeling of WSNs with specific emphasis to QoS, security, energy, and integration with actuator networks are welcome. Contributions are not limited to the topics listed below but can be extended to other cases where the simulation and modeling approach can be not only suitable, but even essential.
- Architecture design for Scalable WSN supporting QoS and energy saving;
- Data-driven energy consumption and delay model for WSN networks;
- WSN and IoT paradigm;
- Communication protocol design in scalable and efficient WSNs;
- Energy harvesting modeling in WSNs;
- Security, privacy, integrity, and trust in WSN networks and actuators;
- Modeling hardware design and prototyping for Scalable WSNs;
- Testbeds and simulation platforms for WSNs;
- Key applications where WSN modeling and simulation can be mandatory (e.g., smart grid, home and building, connected vehicles, health-care).

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.
