Ubiquitous Sensing and Intelligent Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, there are two trends that are becoming pervasive: sensing and intelligence. The undertakings that are being pursued that involve both a ubiquitous source of data and an intelligent system constitute an immense source of advancement and achievements.

On one hand, sensing data are everywhere, from abundant sources, e.g., people, cameras, homes, agriculture, and cars. Such an overwhelming amount of data is avidly scrutinized in the quest for pattern detection, decision support information, trend detection, and anomaly detection, among many others.

On the other hand, intelligent systems, supported by seemingly never-ending computational power, are booming, with new approaches and algorithms appearing everyday extending the state-of-art.

The interdisciplinary challenges that can arise have been a source of major investigation.  Researchers can find in this Special Issue a venue for presenting both theoretical and practical approaches allowing the presentation and discussion of innovative solutions by addressing a number of open challenges, such as sensor fusion, decision support, privacy, explainability, and trend detection, shaping the path for transformative research.

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-anonymized 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.
