Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 2022 International Symposium on Electronics and Telecommunications (ISETC 2022), 15th Edition will be held on 10–11 November 2022, in Timisoara, Romania (https://conference.etc.upt.ro/isetc2022/).

The International Symposium on Electronics and Telecommunications (ISETC) will bring together members from academia and industry to present their achievements in electronics and telecommunications. The conference is organized once every two years for the exchange of information on the progress of research and development in electronics and telecommunications.

Authors of selected high-quality papers that fit Sensors’ scope from the conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their original papers (50% extensions of contents of the conference paper). In addition to the ISETC 2022 papers, other independent submissions are also welcome. The subject of these contributions should be the same research topics as the ones in the conference:

  • Artificial intelligence and computer vision;
  • Instrumentation, sensors, measurement techniques and devices;
  • Industry 4.0 applications for smart manufacturing;
  • Electromagnetic compatibility, microwaves, antennas and propagation;
  • Blockchain technologies and the Internet of Things;
  • Smart grid and power electronics;
  • Signal analysis, transform, reconstruction and compressive sensing;
  • Speech and audio signal processing;
  • RADAR, video and 3D signal processing;
  • Network security;
  • Network and service management, and software-defined networks;
  • Data science and artificial intelligence for communications;
  • 3G, 4G and 5G communication networks.

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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).

This paper presents the validation of a software application to optimize the discoloration process in simulated hearts and to automate and determine the final moment of decellularization in rat hearts using a vibrating fluid column. The implemented algorithm specifically for the automated verification of a simulated heart’s discoloration process was optimized in this study. Initially, we used a latex balloon containing enough dye to reach the opacity of a heart. The complete discoloration process corresponds to complete decellularization. The developed software automatically detects the complete discoloration of a simulated heart. Finally, the process stops automatically. Another goal was to optimize the Langendorff-type experimental apparatus, which is pressure-controlled and equipped with a vibrating fluid column that shortens the decellularization time by mechanically acting directly on cell membranes. Control experiments were performed with the designed experimental device and the vibrating liquid column using different decellularization protocols for hearts taken from rats. In this work, we used a commonly utilized solution based on sodium dodecyl sulfate. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to measure the evolution of the dye concentration in the simulated hearts and, similarly, to determine the concentrations of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and proteins in the rat hearts.

Mixed criticality systems are one of the relatively new directions of development for the classical real-time systems. As the real-time embedded systems become more and more complex, incorporating different tasks with different criticality levels, the continuous development of mixed criticality systems is only natural. These systems have practically entered every field where embedded systems are present: avionics, automotive, medical systems, wearable devices, home automation, industry and even the Internet of Things. While scheduling techniques have already been proposed in the literature for different types of mixed criticality systems, the number of papers addressing multiprocessor platforms running in a time-triggered mixed criticality environment is relatively low. These algorithms are easier to certify due to their complete determinism and isolation between components of different criticalities. Our research has centered on the problem of real-time scheduling on multiprocessor platforms for periodic tasks in a time-triggered mixed criticality environment. A partitioned, non-preemptive, table-driven scheduling algorithm was proposed, called Partitioned Time-Triggered Own Criticality Based Priority, based on a uniprocessor mixed criticality method. Furthermore, an analysis of the scheduling algorithm is provided in terms of success ratio by comparing it against an event-driven and a time-triggered method. Full article
