Intelligent Wireless Sensor Networks for IoT Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network where physical devices, sensors, appliances and other different objects can communicate with each other without the need for human intervention. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are main building blocks of the IoT. Both the IoT and WSNs have many critical and non-critical applications that touch almost every aspect of our modern life. Wireless sensor networks are providing a virtual layer in which information about the physical world can be accessed by any computational system. Thus, WSNs are considered a valuable asset for bringing the vision of IoT into reality. With the advancements in wireless technology and digital electronics, some tiny devices have started to be used in numerous areas in daily life. These devices are capable of sensing, computation and communicating. This Special Issue will focus on the recent prospective technologies, models, systems and applications in WSNs, IoTs, and advanced networking areas. The aim is to collect the most recent developments in Intelligent Wireless Sensor Networks for IoT Applications.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

• Security and privacy issues in wireless sensor networks;
• Applications of wireless sensor networks;
• Energy efficiency of wireless sensors networks and IoT;
• Deployment and optimization of WSNs in IoT.
• Data collection, analysis, and visualization techniques for WSNs.

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.
