Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The introduction of wireless communications in control applications may achieve important benefits in industrial applications, such as improving scalability and flexibility at deployment and execution, supporting mobile devices, or reducing cabling. However, industrial applications require the limitation of some QoS parameters, such as transmission delays, jitter and error rate. Unfortunately, the nature of wave propagation makes it difficult to ensure the QoS of the applications, since some packages can be delayed or lost. These problems may increase in industrial facilities, which are full of metallic surfaces and obstacles, sometimes even producing communication blackouts.
Although industrial applications tend to be relatively conservative, the expected benefits of using wireless technologies are expected to outgrow the inconveniences. Currently, these technologies are starting to find acceptance in non-critical operations with low sampling frequencies, such as monitoring, condition alarming or supervisory control operations. However, their introduction in critical applications, such as feedback control and safety operations, is still under scrutiny.
New technologies, aimed specifically at industrial environments are starting to be introduced. These technologies may improve the QoS parameters of wireless applications. However, the design of critical applications must be handled in a holistic way, especially since the performance of the communications may influence the performance of the control algorithm. Thus, the research community is interested in robust approaches to build critical control systems, systems which can be supported supported over wireless technologies even in case that the QoS performance of the applications is degraded.
Since, these issues are becoming of the outmost importance for accepting wireless technologies in critical operations, the scientific community may benefit from the presentation of robust approaches to building critical control systems with wireless technologies. The techniques presented should cope with all related challenges, even when the QoS performance of the applications is degraded. For that reason, we invite colleagues in the research community to disseminate their novel contributions in these fields.

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.
