Sensors and Computational Intelligence for Consumer Electronics

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way in which computers perceive and interpret their environment, while sensor technologies have emerged as a rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field. Recent advancements have propelled the widespread adoption of computational intelligence (CI) across various industries. CI, a branch of computer science inspired by human brain processes, employs integrated approaches to address complex real-world challenges. It encompasses methodologies for investigating, simulating, and analyzing intricate phenomena. This Special Issue (SI) on Sensors and Computational Intelligence for Consumer Electronics aims to explore technologies for effective sensing of the physical world and intelligent processing techniques for sensed data, which are critical for the advancement of AI in the context of the Internet of Things (AIoT). Despite significant progress in sensor information fusion, sensor networks and information fusion fields continue to evolve through the incorporation of CI and learning-based fusion techniques, innovative system architectures, data analysis methods, and message control algorithms. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for portable and lightweight sensors across diverse sectors, including consumer electronics, biomedical engineering, and defense. This SI will highlight cutting-edge research utilizing CI in industrial applications. We invite original, unpublished papers that contribute theoretical insights or practical applications within the scope of this SI. The goal of this SI is to present state-of-the-art research on the application of CI in industrial contexts. We welcome submissions addressing theoretical studies and practical applications alike. All submitted papers will undergo rigorous peer review to evaluate their relevance, technical quality, scholarly contribution, and presentation.

Scope (including but not limited to):

1. CI techniques for sensor information fusion.
2. Learning-based fusion techniques.
3. Applications of CI in consumer electronics, biomedical engineering, and the military.
4. Future trends and emerging technologies in CI and smart sensors.
5. CI techniques for consumer electronics and smart home devices.
6. CI in integrating and analyzing multisensor data for better decision making.
7. Sensors and CI used in applications such as security, navigation, and automation.
8. CI techniques for AIoT and smart city solutions to enhance sustainability, energy efficiency, and urban living.

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. Electronics 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.
