Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way in which we interact with our environment, with countless sensors collecting and transmitting data in real time. This has led to a myriad of innovative applications being developed across a wide range of domains, including smart cities, healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and industry. We invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners to submit original research and review articles that explore the state of the art, the challenges and opportunities associated with IoT sensors, and their broader applications.
We welcome high-quality submissions that advance the understanding of IoT sensors and their diverse applications, as well as those that discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with IoT sensor deployment in various domains. The goal of this Special Issue is to foster interdisciplinary research that combines expertise from fields such as engineering, computer science, data science, and domain-specific application areas.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
