Next-Generation IoT and Smart Systems for Communication and Sensing

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The following Topical Advisory Panel is dedicated to the advancement of next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) architectures and intelligent systems aimed at improving communication, sensing, and decision-making processes. In light of the increasing demand for interconnected devices and smart environments, the panel investigates pioneering strategies in embedded systems, distributed sensing, and communication technologies.

Special emphasis is placed on emerging applications within industrial automation, smart cities, and healthcare monitoring. These domains require robust designs that integrate intelligent decision-making, low-latency communication, and adaptive sensing capabilities.

Low-latency communication is particularly appreciated in smart cities, given the utilization of massive quantities of data, concerning technologies based on cloud computing, big data analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), which demands seamless connectivity and real-time data processing.

We therefore cordially invite the submission of scientific articles concerning (but not limited to) the following topics:

• IoT-enabled sensing
• Communication protocols
• Intelligent system architectures
• Embedded technologies and their applications (e.g., smart manufacturing, smart cities, environmental monitoring, healthcare systems, and urban infrastructure development)

Submissions may include original research, case studies, and innovative designs that tackle the challenges and opportunities present in this rapidly evolving domain.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
