Applications in Electronics Pervading Industry, Environment and Society – Sensing Systems and Pervasive Intelligence

Dear Colleagues,

The International Conference on Applications in Electronics Pervading Industry, Environment and Society (ApplePies 2019), https://applepies.eu, intends to provide an opportunity for reciprocal meeting and knowledge on industrial and research activities for academics, practitioners, and managers who operate in the field of electronic applications in various domains. The focus of this Special Issue will be on sensing systems and pervasive intelligence.

The conference offers a venue for presenting original research works, achievements, and panels on the latest trends in electronic applications pervading Industry 4.0, the environment, and society. The overall goal is to stimulate a collaboration between the academy and the industry in the world of the applications of electronic technologies.

Authors of papers accepted at the conference are invited to submit a version (extended by at least 50%) of their contributions relating to the following areas (please note that original contributions related to electronic systems and applications of the following topics will also be considered for publication):

Healthcare: biomedical imaging; biomedical instrumentation; health monitoring; energy harvesting for biomedical applications; brain–computer interface (BCI) or brain–machine interface (BMI); human–machine interface (HMI) and augmented reality; biomimetic and bio-inspired systems; crowd-sensing and human-centric sensing.

Space and avionics: sensors for remote monitoring; space and avionics sensors; redundant, secure, and rad-hard systems; navigation and localization technologies.

Autonomous and connected vehicles and smart mobility: intelligent electronics for road safety; autonomous driving electronics; autonomous driving functions; advanced driving assistance systems; driver information management; smart Li-ion batteries; intelligent transportation systems; smart transport/mobility infrastructure; infomobility.

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-anonymized 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.
