Smart Devices in Real-Time Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

At present, advances in the manufacture of electronic devices allow for the integration of complex systems in a single package, containing everything from sensoring to data acquisition and pre-processing systems, even including power management systems and connectivity options. Miniaturization developments are contributing to the modernization of the industry. To name a few, advances in autonomous mobility, home automation introduction, the Internet of things (IoT) penetration in all its variants (Industrial IoT, IoFood, etc.), sensor development for remote diagnosis and patient monitoring in telemedicine, sensor network deployment for monitoring terrestrial signals for scientific research, the fast deployment of renewable energy generation systems (mainly wind turbines and photovoltaic generators). All these activities require real-time monitoring (RTM) as well. Due to the increasing applications of these technologies, the amount of data generated by RTM systems has escalated, forcing scientists and engineers to think about how to handle this data, from storage to processing, to bring relevant information to its managers.

This Special Issue will cover the state of the art and advances in technologies, methodologies, and applications of real-time intelligent systems that improve reliability, operational efficiency, and energy efficiency, as well as reduce costs and resource consumption. It also aims to increase knowledge in the field of smart sensors, sensor networks and interconnection protocols, data monitoring and management, or research topics that would lead to industrial, scientific, and medical applications of these systems. We encourage you to participate in this Special Issue.

A non-exhaustive and non-limitative list has been established. Therefore, all papers related to the topics mentioned above that accomplish the purposes of the Special Issue will be accepted.

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.
