Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart cities are meant to supervise available resources sustainably to enhance the economy and societal outcomes. Therefore, data from assorted resources are measured to be the most scalable property of a smart city. Research results on big data have been focused on enhancing the latter stages of processing colossal amounts of data. In smart cities, different villages and cities produce heterogeneous data with minimal or no coordination. The existing methods to address these problems in big data analytics for smart cities are still immature. Most of these methods are also time consuming, as they use traditional tools of data mining. In order to solve this issue, new and elegant methods are required to effectively control the big data generated from the sensors deployed in existing cities. This Special Issue aims to report the latest advances and trends concerning advanced machine learning techniques and time series remote sensing data processing issues. Papers addressing both theory and application are welcome, as well as contributions regarding new advanced machine learning techniques for the remote sensing research community. Major topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Smart cities based on big data;
- Big data analytics;
- Embedded sensing;
- System design, modeling, and evaluation within a smart city;
- Smart systems for sustainability.

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.
