Wireless Sensor Networks in Industrial/Agricultural Environments

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, research in industrial and agricultural domains is driven by the need for greater efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness. Wireless sensor networks can revolutionize these sectors by providing the data and insights required to make informed decisions and enhance overall performance. Additionally, this topic aligns with global trends towards sustainability, resource conservation, and technological advancement.

This Special Issue aims to bring together the latest research and innovations in the field of wireless sensor networks and their application in the industrial and agricultural domains and provide a platform for researchers, engineers, and experts to present their findings and insights in this rapidly evolving field.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

• Deployment and optimization of WSNs in industrial and agricultural contexts.
• Energy-efficient sensor node design and communication protocols.
• Data collection, analysis, and visualization techniques for WSNs.
• Security and privacy considerations in WSNs.
• Integration of WSNs with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
• Applications of WSNs in precision agriculture, industrial automation, and smart factories.
• Case studies, field trials, and real-world implementations.
• Challenges and future directions in WSN research for industrial and agricultural use cases.

We invite researchers and experts to submit their original research articles, reviews, and case studies on these topics to contribute to the knowledge and development of wireless sensor networks in industrial and agricultural environments.

Sincerely,
Dr. Rogério Dionísio
Dr. Pedro M. B. Torres

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.
