Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advancements in information communication and technologies have facilitated various cutting-edge applications. Various applications have emerged, including those in healthcare, industry, transportation, smart grids, and smart cities. However, efforts need to be made in providing sustainable ecosystems for these Internet of Things-enabled cyber–physical systems (CPS). Such developments can occur with improved coordination between computational and physical elements via efficient network management.
Modern technology can be used as a solution paradigm, supporting open-knowledge-based architectures that use automated reasoning to manage information and make decisions. The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring together the most recent and advanced research on subjects including the sustainable Internet of Things, opportunistic computing, and semantic-enabled systems, where devices, agents, and humans interact—all with a focus on settings utilizing a sustainable Internet of Things. Future Internet architectures, software-defined networks, and edge-computing-based technologies for smart manufacturing, supply chain management, collaboration, and co-design are also welcome, as are innovative applications and case studies. Despite so many applications and solutions, there remain many challenges at various levels which need to be addressed.
Topics of interest may include, but are not restricted to, the following:
- Protocols and services for sustainable Internet of Things;
- Task offloading in sustainable Internet of Things;
- Machine learning in resource-constrained systems;
- Internet of Things architectures for sustainable societies;
- Decision support systems for sustainable Internet of Things, using knowledge-based approaches;
- Integration of machine learning technologies in the sustainable Internet of Things;
- Network management in cyber–physical systems;
- Context-aware security and privacy of sustainable Internet of Things;
- Intelligent and adaptive object interaction for sustainable Internet of Things;
- Applications for sustainable Internet of Things;
- Efficient sustainable Internet of Things through software-defined networks;
- Predictive maintenance techniques for sustainable Internet of Things;
- Big data architectures and solutions for sustainable Internet of Things;
- Future Internet applications for sustainable Internet of Things;
- Integrating personal devices (smartphones, tablets, wearables) into the sustainable Internet of Things;
- Network management in resource-constrained and heterogeneous systems;
- Interoperability between protocols and systems ensuring high autonomy;
- Discovering, storing, processing, and managing information in sustainable Internet of Things;
- Context-aware analysis of events and data to be translated to actionable events;
- High-level frameworks and applications sustainable Internet of Things.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
