Challenges in Energy Perspective on Mobile Sensor Networks

Dear Colleagues,

Big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence change our way of life significantly. New data collection and utilization are crucial to enhance these technologies, and IoT technology for this improvement is continually evolving. Much research has been conducted on data collection/transmission technology and edge computing for data merging/security, but most research and utilization were performed only on fixed sensors. Therefore, mobile sensor technology has become necessary to remedy the defect of fixed sensors and to place sensors properly.

This Special Issue seeks a variety of technical activities for the mobile sensor network that will emerge, most importantly, in the data age. In this issue, we shall introduce technologies in various fields for mobile sensor networks such as mobile sensors, communication protocols, SDN (software-defined networking), NFV (network function virtualization), edge computing, wireless applications, and security, and provide opportunities to share new ideas with researchers around the world. Moreover, various new issues around computer science and electrical engineering, not limited to the above areas, will also be good material.

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.
