Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid proliferation of connected devices, intelligent infrastructures, and data-driven services has accelerated the evolution of next-generation sensing technologies. As the world transitions toward pervasive digitalization, the demand for reliable, energy-efficient, high-precision, and scalable sensor systems continues to grow across domains such as smart cities, industrial automation, environmental monitoring, healthcare, and autonomous mobility. Recent advances in materials science, embedded systems, wireless communications, artificial intelligence, and edge computing are reshaping how sensors are designed, deployed, and integrated into complex cyber–physical ecosystems. At the same time, global challenges—including climate change, public health risks, resource scarcity, and urbanization—underscore the need for innovative sensing solutions capable of delivering accurate, real-time, and actionable information.
In parallel, the convergence of sensing hardware with intelligent data-processing techniques has created new opportunities for adaptive, context-aware, and self-optimizing systems. Emerging paradigms such as distributed sensing networks, multimodal data fusion, low-power wide-area communications, and secure edge/cloud architectures are redefining performance boundaries and application possibilities. However, scalability, interoperability, security, privacy, reliability, and sustainability remain critical barriers to widespread adoption. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary collaboration and the integration of novel theoretical frameworks with practical implementations.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances in innovative sensor technologies, intelligent sensing systems, and next-generation sensing networks. We invite contributions addressing theoretical developments, experimental validation, system architectures, communication protocols, signal-processing techniques, and real-world applications, with both fundamental research and applied studies demonstrating measurable improvements in performance, efficiency, robustness, or scalability welcome. Interdisciplinary works bridging sensing technologies with artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and secure communication infrastructures linked to healthcare are particularly encouraged.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Calibration, reliability, and long-term stability of sensors;
- Standardization, interoperability, and scalability in sensing networks;
- Long-term sensing and innovation;
- Microrobots and sensing;
- Advanced sensor materials and fabrication technologies;
- Low-power and energy-harvesting sensor systems;
- Edge AI for real-time sensing applications;
- Wireless sensor networks and IoT integration;
- Secure and privacy-preserving sensing architectures;
- Multimodal and distributed sensing systems;
- Environmental, biomedical, and industrial sensing applications.
Through this Special Issue, we aim to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and practitioners to share cutting-edge developments, foster collaboration, and advance the state of the art in sensing science and technology.
