IoT and Ubiquitous Computing for Smart Building

Dear Colleagues,

Smart buildings are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to provide a comfortable, safe, and energy-efficient environment. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and ubiquitous computing technologies has enabled smart buildings to become more intelligent and responsive to the needs of their occupants.

Research Challenges: One of the main challenges in IoT and ubiquitous computing for smart buildings is the integration of various systems and services into a single, seamless experience. This requires the development of advanced technologies that can support the integration of different devices, sensors, and applications. Another challenge is the management of data generated by these systems, which requires efficient data processing and analysis techniques. Privacy and security are also major concerns in IoT and ubiquitous computing for smart buildings, as these systems collect sensitive data about occupants.

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.
