Application of Artificial Neural Network and Sensing in Advanced Agriculture

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last few years, there has been a strong development of new technologies applied to the monitoring and control of different agricultural and livestock processes. This new growth has contributed to a significant increase in productivity, improvement in quality and animal welfare, as well as a reduction in environmental impact. In the coming years, due to the high growth expectations of smart farming, there will be an increase in sensors that offer real-time information and advanced data processing in different digital environments. The use of different artificial intelligence techniques in these advanced data processing activities is currently a reality.

The Special Edition of this publication is directed at these new sensing and processing data techniques for new agricultural production models, based on the use of sensors, information and communication technologies, and artificial neural networks, which will help to ensure a sustainable agriculture and that there is enough food to feed an increasing population.

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.
