State-of-the-Art Sensors Technologies in Italy 2016

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is intended to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive view on the state-of-the-art of sensors science and technology in Italy.

The covered topics will span from sensing devices and principles (including chemical, physical, biological, and optical sensors), to sensor technologies (including micro and nano fabrication, film and printed technologies), to sensor systems (including sensor electronics, energy harvesting, sensor networks, and internet of things), to applications in different scenarios (including industrial, automotive, environmental, food and agricolture, biomedical, and other fields).

High-quality research and review articles on any relevant aspect related to sensors in Italy are solicited and will be considered for publication in the Special Issue.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Chemical Sensors and Microsystems
• Physical Sensors and Microsystems
• Biological Sensors - Biomedical Devices and Systems
• Micro- and Nano-Fabrication for Sensors and Actuators
• MEMS, MOEMS, NEMS
• Materials and Technology
• Theory, modelling, design and simulation
• Micro-Fluidic and Micro Analytical Sensors and Systems
• Sensor Electronics and Signal Processing
• Energy Harvesting and Micro-Power Generation
• Wireless Sensor Networks
• Sensor Systems and Applications
• Electronic Noses
• Actuators and Micromachines
• Packaging and Assembly Technology

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.
