Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid expansion of intelligent sensing technologies and machine learning (ML) is revolutionizing the design and optimization of complex systems across industries. As real-world systems grow in complexity, such as autonomous vehicles, energy infrastructures, smart factories, and medical devices, integrating real-time sensor data with machine learning (ML) models becomes essential for robust performance, adaptive control, and predictive maintenance.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advances in sensor-enhanced machine learning (ML) techniques applied to the optimization of complex systems. We welcome original research, review articles, and case studies that explore novel algorithms, architectures, and applications at the intersection of sensor networks, edge computing, machine learning, and system control/optimization. The issue encourages interdisciplinary contributions bridging telecommunications, mechanical engineering, artificial intelligence, and cyber–physical systems.

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.
