Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart sensing technologies and their inherent data processing techniques have drawn considerable research and industrial attention in recent years. More specifically, sensors are critical in our everyday life, as they are used to gather a diverse variety of information from a vast number of different sources. As a result, sensing technologies should offer a broad range of methods in order to gather data from various objects, obtaining precise information to monitor and control them.
Recent developments in nanometer CMOS technologies have shown great potential in dealing with the increasing demand of processing power that arises in these sensing technologies, from IoT applications to complicated medical devices. Moreover, circuit implementation, which could be based on a full analog or digital approach or, in most cases, on a mixed signal approach, plays a fundamental role in exploiting the full capabilities of sensing technologies. In addition, all circuit design methodologies include the optimization of several performance metrics, such as low power, low cost, small area, and high throughput, which impose critical challenges in the field of sensor design.
This Special Issue aims to highlight advances in the development, modeling, simulation, and implementations of integrated circuits for sensing technologies from the component level to complete sensing systems. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts for publication on (but not limited to) the following areas:
- Low-power/low-cost circuit design for sensors;
- Power management circuits for sensors;
- Next-generation CMOS circuit design for sensor systems;
- Intelligent front-end sensing circuits;
- Circuit optimization methods for sensing technologies;
- VLSI design of sensors for signal processing applications;
- Interface circuits for data fusion from multiple sensors;
- Sensor design for low-power edge computing and IoT applications;
- Wearable sensor design;
- Algorithms and signal processing methods to improve CMOS sensor design;
- Sensor modeling and simulation.

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.
