Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, various types of sensor networks receive widespread use, and they represent one of the key foundations for the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. Sensor networks are integrated into different systems of critical importance in many aspects of human life and activity; therefore, it is important to adequately solve the issues of cyber security in these environments, which is a significant challenge due to the numerous limitations of sensor networks. The security aspects of sensor networks are closely related to energy efficiency issues; the primary reason for this due to the strict limitations on computing and energy resources, requiring security mechanisms designed for sensor networks to use these resources carefully and efficiently. This Special Issue aims to showcase a collection of technical papers from academia and industry that focus on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Security and privacy aspects of sensor networks;
- Energy-efficient security mechanisms for sensor networks;
- Advances in networking mechanisms for sensor networks;
- Integration of sensor networks into other structures.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
