Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the techniques of Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile communication have been developed to detect human and environment information (e.g., geo-information, weather information, bio-information, human behaviors, etc.) for a variety of intelligent services and applications. The three layers in IoT are sensors, networking, and application layers. For sensors and networking layers, the rise of mobile technology advancements (e.g., wireless sensor networking, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, smart mobile device, and Long Term Evolution (LTE)) has led to a new wave of machine-to-machine (M2M), machine-to-human (M2H), human-to-human (H2H), and human-to-machine (H2M) communications. For application layer, several IoT applications, which include energy, enterprise, healthcare, public services, residency, retail, and transportation, have been designed and implemented to detect environmental changes and send instant updates to a cloud computing server farm via mobile communications and middleware for big geo-data analyses. For instance, on-board units in cars can instantly detect and share information about the geolocation of the car, speed, following distance, and gaps with other neighboring cars. While the area of IoT applications and mobile communication is a rapidly expanding field of scientific research, several open research questions are still needed to be discussed and studied. This Special Issue will solicit papers on various disciplines of IoT. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
IoT Applications of Agriculture
IoT Applications of Energy
IoT Applications of Enterprise
IoT Applications of Finance
IoT Applications of Healthcare
IoT Applications of Industry
IoT Applications of Public Services
IoT Applications of Residency
IoT Applications of Retail
IoT Applications of Transportation
Sensing Techniques for IoT
Communication Techniques for IoT
Middleware Techniques for IoT
Data Analysis Techniques for IoT
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
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.
