Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless sensor networks are one of the first real-world examples of pervasive computing—small, smart, and cheap sensing and computing systems that can monitor and control with unsurpassed efficiency and accuracy. They have supported a variety of military services, industry, smart house, intelligent transportation, healthcare, etc.
To provide a higher quality of experience (QoE) in various fields, the development of wireless sensor networks presents the following trends: 1) the network scale expands rapidly, and one network may contain tremendous heterogeneous sensors, each of which has different service capabilities and requirements; 2) the mobility of sensors results in a complex time-variant network structure; 3) the network environment and system requirements change with the space and time domains; 4) the network flexibility and efficiency will be greatly improved using software-based network management.
To handle these challenging characteristics imposed by wireless sensor networks, more research efforts should be conducted focusing on novel scheduling and optimization methods to ensure high-rate, low-latency, low-cost, and reliable services.

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.
