Recent Advances on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)

Wireless Sensor Networks have been developed under the paradigms of both the Smart City and the Internet of Things (IoT). In recent years, there has been a rapid evolution of WSN, and many works have been developed. To date, several authors have designed and deployed WSN for different purposes, such as environmental and acoustic monitoring.

Nevertheless, the WSN paradigm presents several challenges, ranging from those derived from the design and development of the wireless sensor network, such as energy harvesting and low-cost hardware development and maintenance, to some specific challenges derived from the automation of data collection and subsequent signal processing, new communications protocols, and security.

The authors are invited to submit to this Special Issue original works in which new advances and proposals in the use of the WSN are presented. The aim is to present contributions in the different aspects of innovation in the field of WSN: theoretical studies, advances in the design of new sensors and protocols, new fields of application, results of longitudinal studies in the use of this technology, and other studies in which WSN are the focus of interest.

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.
