Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) is significant to the current and future generation of information, network, and communication development and applications, and AI-empowered IoT is an emerging research field that can potentially transform both our understanding of fundamental computer science principles and our standard of living. The IoT is increasingly being employed in various areas, rendering“everything smart”, such as smart homes, smart cities, intelligent transportation, environment monitoring, security systems, and advanced manufacturing. Moreover, it is essential to analyze and learn from an abundance of generated data quickly. Current approaches for big data analytics require the full transfer of data to a platform with high computational power, such as the cloud. However, given the projected rise in the number of devices and the resulting data generation rate, this is not feasible. Numerous other problems exist, such as AI-built security issues, cloud attacks, and botnet problems. The International Conference on Smart Internet of Things (SmartIoT) and the International Conference on Information Science and Technology (ICIST) address these challenges.
This Special Issue is dedicated to publishing original research papers that propose new methodologies and research directions and discuss approaches or schemes to tackle current existing issues. Its focus is on innovations that use devices and computing power within the Internet of Things network itself to perform data analysis in a scalable and reliable fashion.
Papers from the SmartIoT2025 conference are particularly welcome.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following:
- IoT sensing, monitoring, networking and routing;
- Big data analysis and cloud computing;
- Edge computing/fog computing;
- Smart cities, intelligent transportation and internet of vehicles;
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning and evolutionary computing;
- Social networks, multimedia and mobile computing;
- Blockchain and emerging research or technologies;
- Industrial 4.0 and industrial IoT;
- Security and privacy for smart IoT or CPS;
- Control and decision making for smart IoT or CPS.

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 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.
