Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged as versatile technology with broad applicability across diverse fields, such as agriculture, healthcare, environmental monitoring, and industrial automation. WSNs are made up of numerous compact sensor nodes that gather and wirelessly transmit data to a centralized base station or gateway.
Even though WSNs offer numerous advantages, several obstacles need to be overcome before they can be extensively implemented in practical applications. These issues encompass energy efficiency, scalability, security, and reliability, among others.
This call for submissions invites original research articles, review articles, and case studies that delve into the theory and practice of WSN applications. The range of this call encompasses, but is not limited to, the following subjects:
- WSNs architectures, protocols, and standards;
- Energy-efficient WSNs design and optimization;
- Scalable WSNs for large-scale deployments;
- Security and privacy in WSNs;
- WSNs for environmental monitoring and smart agriculture;
- WSNs for healthcare and medical applications;
- WSNs for industrial automation and control;
- Real-world case studies and applications of WSNs.
We encourage scholars, professionals, and specialists in the field to contribute their original and previously unshared research on the specified subjects. Each submission will be subject to a thorough peer-review procedure, and approved papers will be included in either the conference proceedings or a pertinent journal's special issue.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
