Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart cities involve real-time communication between sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as the integration, processing, and analysis of large volumes of data collected from heterogenous sources that are referred to big data. Recent advances in IoT and big data contribute to the design of new models and development of innovative solutions for smart cities that can bring benefits to communities, environment, urban authorities, and industry. Even so, there are still many research gaps to be identified and solved to help urban communities in their transition towards a more green and sustainable development. This Special Issue aims to provide opportunities for researchers and practitioners to publish innovative and original papers that explore the challenges related to IoT and big data processing, integration, and analytics for smart cities. Both theoretical and practical approaches are welcome. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: communication-based frameworks for IoT networks; data-driven architectures and models for real time data processing; IoT data integration; edge-fog-cloud computing for smart cities; automation and optimization models for smart cities; AI-based data processing; machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) for IoT networks and big data related to smart cities; natural language processing (NLP) for big data analytics; digital threads and digital twins for smart cities; and advanced analytics for smart cities.

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.
