Architectures, Protocols and Algorithms of Sensor Networks—Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the previous Special Issue “Architectures, Protocols and Algorithms of Sensor Networks” (https://0-www-mdpi-com.brum.beds.ac.uk/journal/sensors/special_issues/architectures_protocols_algorithms_wsn), we are pleased to announce the next in the series, entitled “Architectures, Protocols and Algorithms of Sensor Networks—Second Edition”.

Sensor network technology provides new sources of information and opens perspectives for innovative applications in industry, smart cities, smart homes, healthcare, environmental monitoring, military, and other domains. The emerging sensor network applications require the development of new dedicated architectures, protocols, and algorithms that ensure reliable network operation for a long time, as well as cost-effective deployment, scalability, and seamless maintenance. Wireless sensor networks require efficient methods for power management. In various applications, the availability of accurate localization algorithms is also a prerequisite for success. Moreover, new solutions are necessary to ensure the usefulness and security of the information collected from sensor nodes.

This Special Issue is addressed to all types of architectures, protocols, and algorithms designed for innovative applications of sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• New architectures of wired and wireless sensor networks;
• Application-aware communication protocols for sensor networks;
• Data management in sensor networks;
• Signal-processing algorithms for sensor networks;
• In-network data processing and analysis;
• Smart sensing and embedded machine learning algorithms;
• Power management in wireless sensor networks;
• Data transmission reduction in sensor networks;
• Localization and tracking algorithms for sensor networks;
• Mobility management in sensor networks;
• Synchronization algorithms for sensor networks;
• Information security in sensor networks.

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.
