Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At the beginning of the last decade, the Internet of Things and the Cloud Computer worlds were both emerging. The first dealt with tiny low-power devices, while the latter focused on elasticity, virtualization, and the pay-per-use model, promising the democratic distribution of computer power and storage. In recent years, the two technologies have become intimately related to each other, converging on a new paradigm that could be defined as the high-performance Internet of Things. This evolutionary thread has advanced sensor technologies and their related applications greatly, as evidenced by the massive rise of distributed low-cost sensor networks and the data crowdsourcing model. At the same time, the computation for the edge and fog computing paradigms has enabled the design and development of a new class of cloud-native applications in which the IoT acts as a bridge between sensing technologies and cloud computing-hosted applications.
This Special Issue looks for novel contributions related to the application of the IoT and sensing systems to cloud computing-powered infrastructures. The main topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- GPU, FPGA, and heterogeneous processing algorithms;
- IoT microservice applications;
- Urban informatics and cloud applications;
- Novel protocols for fast, secure, reliable, and resilient data transfer;
- Workflows and orchestration systems involving the IoT, sensing, and cloud resources;
- CPU, GPU, and FPGA offloading at the edge;
- Cloud-native pattern recognition algorithms for sensors and IoT-produced data;
- Osmotic computing and other edge computing paradigms;
- Security and reliability for IoT data;
- Cloud computing data distribution and provisioning;
- Artificial Intelligence for the IoT and sensors in the Cloud;
- Computational intelligence and machine learning for the IoT and cloud-based smart systems for sensor networks;
- Federated learning;
- Scheduling of IoT-sensing hybrid/cloud applications;
- IoT solutions for coastal and ocean monitoring;
- Long-range systems for ocean vessel-to-cloud data transfer;
- Sensors and IoT data mining on the Cloud.

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.
