IoT Sensor Networks for Environment Monitoring: From Sensor to Cloud

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things is a major contributor to the digital transformation of our society. In the foreseeable future, the objects of everyday life will be equipped with microcontrollers, transceivers for digital communication, and suitable protocol stacks that will enable them to communicate not only with one another but also with the users. The data collected can be used, among other things, to protect the environment and to make cities environment friendly, but their construction and operation at a very large scale has a considerable cost in terms of energy and natural resources consumption. Reducing the ecological impact of environmental monitoring, sensor design, manufacturing, deployment and operation is critical, as well as the data treatment chain all the way from the field to the users.

This Special Issue calls for articles about developments and indoor and outdoor applications of Wireless Sensor Networks to monitor the environment, including the data processing chain from sensor to cloud. It aims to also address innovative approaches to improve data quality using edge computing or smart sensors, to take advantage of future internet infrastructures (5G), to increase sensor autonomy, and generally to reduce IoT’s ecological impact.

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.
