Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensor networks represent an important and attractive framework for scientific interests. Numerous research aspects have been the object of study, including the challenges of the node-position estimation within the network. Localization is an important and challenging task of sensor networks; the aim is to reliably estimate the position of nodes in different application scenarios, such as event detection, classification, object tracking, and home assistance.
Sensor networks can be set up outdoors and indoors; however, often due to the constraints on cost, energy consumption, and accessibility of the environments, the well-established satellite positioning systems cannot be used. In such cases, the identification of technologies and algorithms able to provide the position of the nodes with accuracy compatible with the specific application is fundamental.
In this context, it is our pleasure to announce this Special Issue on "Indoor and Outdoor Sensor Networks for Positioning and Localization". This Special Issue is focused on all aspects related to localization for performance improvement in any application scenario. It includes the proposition of methodologies, development of algorithms and setups, sensor characterization, and data fusion from different technologies. Original contributions on the mentioned topics are welcome.

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.
