Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology is a fiber-based sensing technology that can monitor the acoustic wave and vibration information along the length of the optical fiber in real time and continuously. DAS technology has rapidly developed over the last decade. This development enables a vast range of applications, which has revolutionized how we monitor and record vibrations across various environments.
This special issue aims to collect the latest scientific and technological advances in any relevant enabling technology impinging on the development and improvement of DAS. This includes but is not limited to, the development of novel algorithms, innovative sensor technologies, real-time processing techniques, and applications across various domains such as environmental monitoring, industrial inspection, and underwater applications. The topics include but are not limited to:
- Distributed Acoustic Sensing Networks
- Deep Learning Analysis of DAS
- Near-Surface Applications of DAS
- Distributed and Online Acoustic Enhancement and Analysis
- Intelligent Processing of DAS Data

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.
