Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Because of increasing environmental change, people face the prospect of living in variant environments. For example, climate change leads to higher temperatures, and the decreasing green space affects both physical and mental health. From a range of studies that have been conducted, it is known that these climate changes have adverse effects on human life. Hence, it is widely accepted that humans are responsible for environmental monitoring.
The current state-of-the-art practices of environmental monitoring are focused on systems with the properties of energy efficiency, low cost, short response time, good accuracy, acceptable signal-to-noise ratio, radio frequency interference interference rejection, and user-friendly interface. These systems are able to continuously collect data and work with computers to produce accurate predictions. The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to provide the function of environmental protection by enabling the monitoring and control of vital changes in the environment. Devices with IoT functionality are capable of sensing data such as temperature, pressure, humidity, noise, pollution, object detection, patient vitals, etc. Additionally, through these devices, it is possible to process and wirelessly transmit the data collected. With effective short-term measures and long-term data analysis, we are able to present these data in a useful form.
Due to the growing needs of environmental monitoring, a great deal of related works have to be analyzed, designed, and implemented. This Special Issue attempts to link the science and the technology for IoT-based environmental monitoring systems in preparation for the framework of environment protection. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Energy Efficiency of IoT;
- Security and Privacy of IoT;
- Healthcare IoT Systems;
- Deployments and Testbeds;
- AI technology of IoT (AIoT);
- IoT Architectures;
- IoT Communication Technologies;
- IoT-enabled Smart City;
- IoT-enabled application;
- IoT-enabled Supply Chain;
- Integrated IoT + 5G Systems.

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.
