State-of-the-Art Sensors Technology in Romania 2022

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art sensors science and technology and related topics in Romania. The theme of the Special Issue is “From Sensors to IoT and the Digital Revolution”, as it is intended to underscore the importance of IoT technologies in bringing about the digital revolution and making it a reality.

We invite research articles that will consolidate our understanding of the state-of-the-art in this area. The Special Issue will publish highly-rated full research and review manuscripts addressing the above topics.

The covered topics will span from sensing devices and principles (including physical, biological, chemical, optical and radiation sensors), to sensor technologies (including micro- and nanofabrication, film and printed technologies), to sensor systems (including sensor electronics, energy harvesting, sensor networks, sensory data processing and communications and Internet of Things), to applications in different scenarios (including industrial, automotive, environmental, food and agriculture, biomedical and other fields), electromagnetic compatibility and antennas, reflecting also the integration of all these aspects in unitary devices or systems.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Physical, chemical, and biological sensors and microsystems;
• Sensors materials and technology;
• Theory, modeling, design, and simulation;
• Sensor electronics and signal processing;
• Sensor calibration and measurements;
• Wireless sensor networks;
• Sensor systems and applications;
• Actuators and micromachines;
• Packaging and assembly technology;
• Industrial sensors and IoT protocols;
• Advanced communications and connectivity, and 5G technologies;
• Distributed processing of sensory data and edge computing;
• Sensors and the technology advances brought by artificial intelligence;
• Cybersecurity, data security, and privacy technologies for sensory data;
• Electromagnetic compatibility in an IoT enviromnents;
• Antennas and antennas arrays as sensing devices;
• Data and the Internet of Things—volume, velocity, and variability;
• Green Technologies—the environment, sustainability, and the circular economy;
• Sensors and biosensors addressing current emerging problems of clinical, food and environmental applications;
• New sensing aspects in the COVID-19 pandemic context;
• Sensors to sensor systems evolution.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
