Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Embedded and ubiquitous computing represents a paradigm designed to deliver continuous computing and communication services to end users universally and perpetually. These systems are currently permeating every aspect of our daily lives, poised to revolutionize our existence in ways that are more profound than ever before. The inception of this technology stems from the intersection of research and technological advancements across a spectrum of disciplines, encompassing embedded systems, pervasive computing, communication technologies, wireless networks, mobile computing, distributed computing, and agent technologies.
Sensors play a critical role in the functionality and effectiveness of embedded and ubiquitous computing systems. They serve as the primary means of gathering data from the environment, thus enabling intelligent decision-making and real-time responses. Despite the advancements in embedded and pervasive computing, there remain numerous topics worth further investigation, particularly surrounding the integration, application, and optimization of sensors in these systems. This includes novel sensor technologies, their deployment in smart environments, and the challenges associated with data acquisition and management.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together and disseminate state-of-the-art research advances in the analysis, design, optimization, implementation, and standardization of embedded and ubiquitous computing, with a specific focus on sensors and their applications. We welcome original research and review articles. The potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Integration of emerging wireless technologies with sensor-enabled embedded and ubiquitous computing;
- Smart mobile systems and applications utilizing sensors in embedded and ubiquitous computing;
- Design, analysis, and optimization of sensor-enabled embedded and ubiquitous computing networks;
- Sensing data analysis and management for embedded and ubiquitous computing;
- Security, safety, and reliability/dependability in sensor-enabled embedded and ubiquitous computing networks;
- Machine learning techniques for embedded and ubiquitous computing;
- Spectrum sensing and sharing in embedded and ubiquitous computing systems with other systems;
- Spectrum and interference management in sensor-enabled embedded and ubiquitous computing;
- Enhancements in living environments and intelligentization of habitats with sensor-enabled embedded and ubiquitous computing;
- Embedded and ubiquitous computing standards, testbeds, simulation tools, and hardware prototypes;
- Mobile edge computing and fog computing in embedded and ubiquitous computing;
- Speed, connectivity, and smart communication for sensor-enabled embedded and ubiquitous computing systems;
- Challenges and issues in designing sensor-enabled embedded and ubiquitous computing systems.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
