Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid proliferation of IoT devices has created unprecedented opportunities for distributed intelligence and real-time sensing at the network edge. However, the massive heterogeneity and limited resources of IoT systems pose major challenges for efficient data processing, communication, and coordination. Edge computing has emerged as a key enabler to bridge these gaps, bringing computation closer to data sources while reducing latency and bandwidth demands. This Special Issue aims to explore innovative mechanisms for resource sharing, cooperative sensing, and intelligent orchestration across heterogeneous edge environments. We invite original research and visionary contributions that address novel architectures, protocols, and algorithms enabling collaborative, adaptive, and energy-efficient edge systems for IoT applications.

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.
