Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent momentum of the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the need for embedded systems comprising one or more low-power and resource-constrained computing elements and sensors that are organised into part of a more extensive network. At the same time, this also creates new challenges related to hardware and software design, computational capabilities, energy availability, power management, resource management, communication, security and privacy. As a result, there is an urgent need for extensive research on embedded systems tailored to IoT applications. For this Special Issue, we welcome high-quality submissions that describe original and unpublished research contributions advancing the frontiers on embedded systems and IoT applications.
We solicit papers covering (but not limited to) one or more of the following topics:
- Power management concepts, algorithms, and circuits for embedded systems;
- Architectures and standards for wireless sensor systems;
- Hardware and software concepts for integrated systems;
- Security and Privacy with the IoT;
- Resource management and operating system support for energy-harvesting sensing systems;
- Communication in the wireless sensor systems domain;
- Ensuring reliable operation in energy-harvesting sensor systems;
- Modelling, simulation, and tools for effective design of future sensing systems;
- Internet of (battery-less) Things;
- Experience with real-world deployments and innovative applications for IoT.

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. 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.
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.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
