Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Networking and computing are undergoing a major shift toward cloud computing.
Cloud computing is now being adopted by end-user devices on wired and wireless networks such as "fog computing". With fog computing, cloud capability is extended through nodes and IoT gateways to provide compute, storage, and networking services. Technology uses multiple endpoints to process data closer to the end user, which is one of the major advantages. A network can be viewed as an overall picture based on the results of numerous data points, which is both more scalable and more accurate than edge computing.
In future technological developments such as 5G networks and the Internet of Things (IoT), fog computing (FC) may be a promising addition to Internet architecture. A large number of sensors generate continuous sensory information via these advanced technologies that are integrated into Internet architectures.
Special emphasis is placed on identifying the required services and network-oriented features required to build a future enterprise network using fog computing and cloud computing as enablers for 5G networks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- network storage,
- Internet of Things (IoT);
- heterogeneous 5G mobile services;
- fog computing;
- cognitive radio networks;
- software-defined networking;
- mobile cloud computing.

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.
