Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dawn of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has brought a series of novel services and applications never imagined only a short time ago. Many buzzwords such as smart cities, smart homes, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) show the democratization of the “things”. However, “things” usually present notable limitations regarding both communication and processing capabilities. In this context, software agents as well as virtualization techniques arise with the aim of developing more complex IoT services based on user needs. This synergy is evident in recent research advances integrated within the fog and edge computing paradigms in IoT scenarios. In a later stage, data collected from end-devices should be processed using a computing paradigm and taking advantage of Big Data algorithms. This with the aim of developing user-centric services or directly supporting the proper autonomous functioning of “things”.
This Special Issue will exploit the momentum in these domains by inviting researchers to contribute with original works in topics covering the development of software agents and virtualization techniques for IoT systems through analysis, simulation and field trials.

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.
