Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology continues to permeate our daily lives, leading to big advances in various sectors. In particular, the advent of IoT sensing systems has opened the door to a wide range of services and innovative applications, contributing to an increase in efficiency, productivity, and sustainable developments. Such advancements also highlight the pressing need for rigorous scientific research in this field, considering the multitude of implications that these systems may have in engineering applications.
The aim of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality research papers as well as review articles addressing recent advances in IoT sensing systems. We invite researchers to contribute to the exploration of the broad spectrum of IoT sensing systems, including but not limited to sensor technology, measurement systems, wireless sensor networks, real-time communication and monitoring for industrial environments, LPWAN networks, reliable communications, healthcare monitoring, automotive communication, and their integration with other IoT components. Furthermore, this issue intends to explore the fundamental concept behind these systems, focusing on novel methodologies, algorithms, application protocols, compression protocols, solutions for time-sensitive communications applied to IoT, peer-to-peer hybrid networking, reliable and fault-tolerant communications.
Finally, in light of the crucial role that reliability and accuracy play in engineering applications, contributions related to the metrology of sensors and measurement systems are particularly welcome. This includes, among others, discussions on IoT sensors calibration and the role of metrology in ensuring the reliability and accuracy of IoT sensing systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Wireless sensor networks;
- IoT application (industrial, healthcare, structural and environmental monitoring);
- LPWAN communication protocols;
- LR-WPAN wireless technologies (Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15.4);
- IoT architectures and frameworks for sensing;
- Sensing and measurement systems;
- Sensor calibration techniques and procedures.
