Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The use of Machine Learning (ML) techniques has been highlighted as a promising approach for processing IoT data and optimizing resource utilization in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and represents one of the most advanced analytical techniques currently in use.

The IoT and WSNs generate a large volume of data from various sources such as environmental sensors, smart appliances, industrial equipment, and wearable devices. ML algorithms help to process and analyze these data in order to extract meaningful insights, detect patterns, and make predictions.

The topics of interest within this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Predictive maintenance;
  • Anomaly detection;
  • Sensor fusion;
  • Energy optimization;
  • Tiny Machine Learning;
  • Data-driven model optimization;
  • Model pruning, quantization, and compression;
  • Interpretation and decision-making;
  • Smart cities and urban analytics;
  • Security and Privacy.

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.

The primary objective of the research presented in this article is to introduce an artificial neural network that demands less computational power than a conventional deep neural network. The development of this ANN was achieved through the application of Ordered Fuzzy Numbers (OFNs). In the context of Industry 4.0, there are numerous applications where this solution could be utilized for data processing. It allows the deployment of Artificial Intelligence at the network edge on small devices, eliminating the need to transfer large amounts of data to a cloud server for analysis. Such networks will be easier to implement in small-scale solutions, like those for the Internet of Things, in the future. This paper presents test results where a real system was monitored, and anomalies were detected and predicted. Full article
