Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that has taken the digital world by storm. It is defined as the interconnection of smart physical objects through existing Internet infrastructure. However, with the complex and enormous interconnectivity requirements and standards, some common rules are needed to make various heterogeneous devices communicate. Interoperability is the main challenge that needs to be addressed in IoT environments. Big companies and enterprises such as Amazon (AWS IoT), IBM (Watson), Cisco (Jasper), and Microsoft (Azure IoT) have their IoT networks, with different infrastructures, proprietary protocols, formats, syntax, and incompatible standards. For the cumulative growth of the economy, the need of the hour is for these platforms to work together to resolve interoperability problems. However, since providers have to confine themselves to a particular IoT provider due to interoperability limitations, this can negatively impact operational costs, product performance, and stability issues. Therefore, it is challenging for small businesses to cope with different IoT platforms. There is no denying the fact that industry and academia have addressed these problems in their way. The industry has tried to standardize different IoT platforms. However, it may take time for different organizations to agree on a common set of standards. IoT concerns different prospects, such as device, network, syntactical, platform, and semantic interoperability, which need to be addressed accordingly. Furthermore, lack of resources, proprietary technology, complexity, and security of IoT devices are some of the limitations that lead to interoperability problems. On the other hand, the security, simplicity, and scalability of IoT devices are some of the features that manufacturers should focus on during the design of such devices.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to exchange and publish the latest challenges, research trends, and results that can effectively address interoperability, interaction, communication, and high-performance computing problems among IoT devices. This Special Issue aims to provide a solution that can guide different manufacturers and researchers to develop devices that can communicate with each other without any technical barrier.

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.
