New Generation Sensors Enabling and Fostering IoT

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm continuously expands to cover many daily life applications, allowing objects to be sensed, inspected and integrated remotely across wireless network infrastructures. The IoT encompasses several technologies able to interact with the physical environment, both at small and large scale, employing both contact and remote sensors (and therefore information about an object is obtained with or without embedded electronics on the object itself).

Sensor development for the IoT moves towards technical and economic challenges such as low cost, low energy consumption, privacy and security issues, easy deployment, maintenance-free, simple data processing and management.

The Special Issue aims to bring together high quality research and innovative development activities focused on sensor developments and new application scenarios in the IoT area, including, but not limited to:

• Low-power sensors
• Low-cost sensors
• Green & printable electronics
• Radio Freqiency IDentification (RFID) and RFID sensors
• Non-contact sensor
• Remote sensing
• Radar and radiometric sensors
• Micro-mechanical, micro-fluidic & MEM sensors
• Energy harvesting devices & techniques for sensor nodes
• Complementary MOS (CMOS) System-on-Chip (SoC) sensors
• Data processing, integrity and security for the IoT
• Sensor networks for the IoT
• Distributed sensing and monitoring architectures

Both original research papers and review articles related to sensors and wireless sensor networks for the IoT are solicited.

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.
