Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a computing paradigm in which everyday life objects are augmented with computational and wireless communication capabilities, typically by incorporating resource-constrained devices including sensors and actuators, which enable their connection to the internet. The IoT is considered the key ingredient for developing smart environments. IoT-enabled smart devices and systems constitute the key elements of divergent smart environments, e.g., smart homes, health, cities, and farming, and intelligent manufacturing systems.
In smart environments, sensors with intelligent computational capacities are placed in a location containing an internet connection. These sensors can communicate with anything, at any time, and from any place within the network. Data collection systems locate and transfer data through large numbers of such communication devices within the IoT infrastructure, facilitating the process of data collection.
The collection and exchange of data might be enabled through web-service-enabled devices deployed in the different systems. Therefore, such devices will be connected to physical and cyber resources, such as sensors, actuators, and data exchangers. The next generation of automation and digitalisation technology has to meet a large set of requirements and involve a wider scope of actors and stakeholders. This is the big challenge for technology suppliers of the future in this field.
The key technology for creating integration within and between different levels of the ISA-95 architecture (today’s standard architecture for automation systems) is Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The SOA-based enterprise architecture allows devices and systems, from the shop floor to the business level, to function in a cross-layer interaction mode.
This cloud-based approach allows a multi-level composition of systems-of-systems and services-of-services. The use of a cloud-based architecture enables tight integration and interaction between high-end business systems, e.g., ERP/MES, and factory floor systems, e.g., SCADA/DCS, thereby allowing management, control, monitoring, and other supervisory control functionalities to be performed as a result of the composition and service orchestration of a framework of intelligent manufacturing systems. Intelligent manufacturing systems are integrated and built on many existing technologies and components, such as industrial production systems, including industrial devices equipped with sensors and actuators; industrial IoT (IIoT) components; and backend systems, such as cloud platforms.
We invite you to submit unpublished original research related to the theme of this Special Issue: “IoT-Enabled Smart Devices and Systems in Smart Environments”.

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. Electronics 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.
