Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) continues to receive considerable interest from academic and industry researchers interested its exploitation to address problems encountered in everyday living. With developments in sensing technologies and context awareness, it is possible to achieve ubiquitous intelligence. Humans (and the environment) encounter various challenges at home, in offices, in cities, during transport, or in seeking secure spaces. Daily challenges to which ubiquitous intelligence can be applied include supporting the elderly in assisted living, digital health, health monitoring and medication adherence, security and surveillance, urban computing, disaster management, etc. However, overcoming such challenges requires corresponding developments in sensor networks and technologies, frameworks, and application programming interfaces (APIs) that make it possible to provide services to people in their living, work, leisure, or commuting environments. Various technologies, such as cloud, fog, and edge computing, big data, and analytics, may be exploited to derive scalable solutions using ubiquitous intelligence. Despite advances in scalable technologies, challenges in security and privacy, storage and processing, and efficient processing, etc., should be addressed as well.
This Special Issue aims to publish papers detailing the latest advances in IoT and ubiquitous intelligence in which challenges to context awareness, scalable computing, security and privacy, and storage and processing, including analytics, are addressed.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Ubiquitous sensing and intelligence;
- Intelligent/smart object and interaction;
- Intelligent/smart systems and services;
- Personalization and social aspects;
- Smart applications and services in assisted living, digital health, urban computing, smart environments;
- Privacy modelling and preserving methods;
- Cyber security, incident detection, and response systems;
- Cyber physical systems and their safety;
- Scalable technologies including cloud, edge, and fog computing;
- High-performance computing for IoT applications;
- Big data and analytics in IoT and ubiquitous intelligence;
- Social computing and social internet of things;
- Human-centric computing and cyber–physical–social systems;
- Theory, modelling, and methodologies for IoT applications.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
