Special Issue Information

Dear Colleague,

During the last couple of decades, every physical system in general industry has been incorporated with IT components and networking facilities to communicate with both real-world environment and existing IT environment. On these cyber-physical systems, intelligent or conditional operations of these systems tend to be dependent of the sensor data captured from the real-world. This means that the behavioral characteristics of the sensors or sensor networks are really important for system-wide secure operations of cyber-physical systems. For example, sensors or sensor networks in autonomous driving automotives play very important roles. In this context, this special issue on “sensor networks for cyber-physical systems” is a world-wide request in this research field.

This Special Issue targets scientific contributions tackling these issues. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Sensors in Smart Factory, Smart Mobility, Smart Farm, Smart City, Smart Home and etc.
  • Sensor signals, circuits and interfaces
  • Extracting field data sets from real world
  • High speed sensing and processing
  • Provisioning networks of sensors and actuaters
  • Network architecture and protocols for sensor-specific transactions
  • Big data analysis or machine learning for sensor and actuators
  • Data-driven architecture for VR, AR or digital twins
  • Cognitive environment or space cloning technology
  • Integrity assurance and secure communication for sensors and actuators
  • Sensor data integration into 5G network

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).

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a group of sensors connected with a wireless communications infrastructure designed to monitor and send collected data to the primary server. The WSN is the cornerstone of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0. Robustness is an essential characteristic of WSN that enables reliable functionalities to end customers. However, existing approaches primarily focus on component reliability and malware propagation, while the robustness and security of cascading failures between the physical domain and the information domain are usually ignored. This paper proposes a cross-domain agent-based model to analyze the connectivity robustness of a system in the malware propagation process. The agent characteristics and transition rules are also described in detail. To verify the practicality of the model, three scenarios based on different network topologies are proposed. Finally, the robustness of the scenarios and the topologies are discussed. Full article
