Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless Sensor Networks are ubiquitous, and new applications are being continuously developed. Despite significant developments, optimization of such networks and quantitative measures for the characterization of the networks’ performance are still of considerable interest.
This Special Issue is intended to cover topics of general interest to WSN optimization, but with special emphasis on one or more of these areas:
- Networks relevant to biomedical engineering, healthcare and biological signal processing;
- Bio-inspired wireless networks (narrowly defined);
- Quantum networking protocols for WSNs (need, feasibility, potential applications);
- Machine learning for wireless networks;
- Temporal network graphs;
- Minimization of energy expenditure for sustainable networks;
- Physical models of networks;
- Network mathematical characteristics (robustness, centrality, small world, etc.).
We welcome the submission of original research articles and well-prepared, focused research articles. Whenever possible, more than one area of interest (as listed above) should be encompassed in the framework of the manuscript. Your cover letter should explicitly explain how your manuscript specifically addresses the theme(s) of this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Isakovic Abdel

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.
