Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable IoT techniques and models are garnering more and more attention among the scientific community. The effects of global warming are becoming tangible and calls for urgent solutions also from the ICT sector. In fact, today this sector is responsible for 3% of global carbon emissions, a number that will triple by 2030. The IoT must be part of this shift towards a more sustainable approach in application development, since the huge spread of devices across the globe may cause a big waste of energy, then emitting a dangerous amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Some scientific efforts have already been done, mainly including very interesting experiments, but we’re still scratching the surface of what will be the green IoT of the future. There’s a need for models, methodologies, and techniques to improve the sustainability of IoT applications in every phase, such as software and hardware design, development, testing, deploy, and production. Additionally, the manufacturing and disposal of IoT devices should be taken into account, as every device has an embodied carbon that requires to extend device life as much as possible. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish and spread the most groundbreaking research works in this area, including, but not limiting to, the following: IoT energy patterns, energy efficiency, green AI on IoT, carbon intensity driven use cases, carbon-aware workload management, carbon-aware M2M protocols, green software development, experiments, and assessment.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
