Metrology for Living Environment 2024

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Authors are invited to submit extended versions of their work to this Special Issue for publication. The Special Issue aims to be a solid reference of the technical community to present the most recent results of scientific and technological research for the living environment, with particular emphasis on applications and new trends. Review papers are also welcome.

Attention is paid, but not limited to, on new technologies for metrology-assisted solutions for design, construction, efficient, safe, comfortable and healthy operation of the built environment including active and assisted living (AAL). Innovative solutions can be based on the IoT paradigm, BIM, sensors, signal processing, data analytics, artificial intelligence, sensor networks, interoperability standards.

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).
