Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The technological transformations fostered by Industry 4.0 (and the forthcoming Industry 5.0) paradigms deeply rely on a data-centric vision, where smart and advanced sensing technologies, together with innovative measurement paradigms, need to seamlessly cooperate to ensure reliability, accuracy, and timeliness.
A significant option nowadays is represented by the deployment of integrated and multiple sensors, whose outputs can be intelligently combined to provide meaningful, highly accurate, and more representative information about a physical process. This sensor fusion approach is becoming increasingly appealing in several fields and for many Industry 4.0 applications, such as additive manufacturing scenarios.
Moreover, the current technological advancement facilitates real-time data analysis and manipulation, potentially paving the way for the definition of novel approaches to sensor fusion based on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence approaches.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Hardware and software architectures for collaborative multi-sensor fusion;
- Advance sensors and sensors systems for Industry 4.0;
- Power management and energy harvesting in sensor systems;
- Wired and wireless sensor networks;
- Hardware and software IoT architectures;
- Sensors for measurements, testbeds, calibration, and validation;
- Data fusion algorithms for measurement processes;
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence application in sensor fusion;
- Cloud and edge computing for sensor data fusion.

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.
