Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays a huge portion of population lives in urban areas, and projections indicate that most cities are going to be confronted with a growing urban population in the next few years. This undoubtably poses new challenges that must be addressed by city councils and stakeholders to guarantee citizens’ high quality of life. Mobility, pollution, climate change, and waste management are only some of the problems that cities will face in the near future. In the context of smart cities, data produced in real-time by IoT/IoE sensors can be exploited for the development of innovative technologies based on data-driven approaches to monitor and analyze the status of the urban area, perform predictions and evaluations of specific scenarios, and give instruments to stakeholders to visualize and measure the impact of new policies aimed at promoting a green, sustainable, inclusive, and smart urban development.
This Special Issue therefore aims to put together original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, and applications addressing urban development in the context of smart cities.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- IoT/IoE sensors data acquisition and management;
- Distributed sensing and computation;
- IoT platforms;
- Knowledge bases of urban data;
- Data analytics for predictions and simulations;
- Development of tools for dashboard construction;
- Smart city digital twins;
- Evaluation studies and datasets for smart cities;
- Data security and privacy;
- Smart mobility and transportation;
- Environmental monitoring technologies;
- Smart waste management.

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.
