Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It was a long time ago that Mark Weiser envisioned a world of small, cheap, and robust networked processing devices, distributed across human and natural environments at all scales, to aid our everyday life. Since then, the technological developments, from nanotechnologies to computation and communication systems, have converged into what is nowadays known as Internet of Things (IoT), and made what Weiser envisioned a reality. IoT has paved the way to a plethora of new application domains, at the same time posing, however, several challenges as a multitude of devices, protocols, communication channels, architectures. and middleware exist. Nevertheless, IoT is growing exponentially in the number and heterogeneity of actors; indeed, a number between 50 and 100 billion objects are expected by 2020, and this growth makes “intelligence” a critical turning point for the success of IoT.
In particular, we are witnessing an incremental development of interconnections between devices (smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, fitness trackers and wearable devices in general, smart TVs, home appliances, and more), people, processes, and data.
Data generated by the devices are becoming big data and call for advanced learning and data mining techniques to efficiently and effectively understand, learn, and reason with this amazing volume of information.
Moreover, thanks to the latest results of research on Artificial Intelligence, applications can count on an “intelligent” network of billions of sensors “aware” of their operating environment, able to listen, learn, and respond to offer new services and functionalities in the most disparate application domains, which guarantee greater security, simplicity, and reliability.
This Special Issue aims at collecting contributions concerning any use of intelligent techniques to any IoT aspects related to the IoT domain, from protocols to applications, to give the reader an up-to-date picture of the state-of-the-art on the connection between machine learning, computational intelligence, and IoT.
General topics covered in this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following methodologies and IoT applications:
- Methodologies:
- Soft computing (e.g., fuzzy logic, rough sets);
- Neural networks;
- Neuro-fuzzy systems;
- Deep learning;

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
