Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Recently, ad hoc and wireless communication technologies have made available devices, services, and information that provide rich environments for the users.
Smart space and ubiquitous computing extend pervasive computing capabilities to everyday objects and provide context-awareness services to users in smart living environments. The ultimate goal is to build smart spaces with context awareness and location-based service applications that integrate information from independent systems, which autonomously and securely support human activities.
Smart living technologies are complex and require a systematic approach that encompasses vision, needs design, development, technological considerations, implementation, evaluation, and collaboration with other hybrid systems. Creativity, agility, open-mindedness, and innovation are keys to the successful construction of smart space environments. However, there are still many issues in research and practice that require discussion and improvement. The Special Issue will focus on smart living technology innovations in the city, as well as governance, the innovation economy, urban infrastructure, and the personal daily living environment. The topics relevant to this issue include but are not limited to the following: (1) the impact of new smart living technologies on the design, development, and delivery of the above domains; and (2) new AIoT frameworks and apps for planning and implementing intelligent services for smart living and personal daily living.
This Special Issue recounts how researchers create new smart living spaces and services through the use of smart technologies. It illustrates challenges facing daily living, recounts collaboration with other hybrid systems, and discusses intelligent services provided by information technology. It contributes to the sharing and discussion of experiences among modern academic scholars regarding needs assessment, planning, and utilization of technology to support smart services. This Special Issue aims to cover both technological and non-technological issues related to these growing and rapidly evolving areas. Hence, we invite papers that include but are not exclusive to the following topics:
- application areas
- smart city
- smart governance
- smart home
- smart innovation economy
- smart learning
- smart urban infrastructure
- smart space
- techniques
- ambient intelligence
- context-aware computing
- deep learning
- embedded systems and devices
- evolving soft computing techniques
- human-to-computer interfaces
- innovative sensing devices and applications
- machine learning and vision
- middleware and architectures
- modelling environments and human behavior
- sensor networks and mobile ad hoc networks
- security, privacy, and trust

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
