Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are considered a well-established and sound ICT technology consisting of an arbitrarily large number of low-cost, small, portable, low-consumption, and connected devices that work collaboratively to offer a wide range of pervasive and ubiquitous smart services and innovative applications in many areas. Under this technological umbrella, advances in WSNs have become the cornerstone of recent paradigms such as the Internet of Things (IoT). The deployment of WSNs has already created new opportunities for the development of smart cities, Industry 4.0, and Agriculture 4.0, among other relevant sectors. This has enabled ground-breaking applications that represent a step forward to significantly improving our quality of life and promoting the progress of industry and agriculture. In fact, WSN deployment in these environments still has open issues that require attention from the community. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Internet of Things breakthroughs in smart cities, Industry 4.0, and Agriculture 4.0;
- Low-power wide-area network solutions for smart cities, Industry 4.0, and Agriculture 4.0 applications;
- Mobility management, roaming, and advanced routing techniques for WSNs and low-power wide-area networks;
- Crowdsourcing/crowdsensing in IoT networks;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning applied to IoT networks;
- Security and privacy issues in IoT networks for smart cities, Industry 4.0, and Agriculture 4.0.

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 2400 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.
