Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless sensors networks (WSNs) are changing the world as we know it, and they have yet to truly reach their full potential. Many applications of WSNs are enabled through understanding and observing the behaviors of humans interacting with them. It has become clear that the community needs to further develop algorithms and methods related to human activity recognition in the context of WSNs, e.g., a smart home, a smart city, or any other type of smart environment. In particular, challenges related to the lack of ground truth, granularity of activities, multiple users, limited computation/energy level, and real-time/online constraints are still to be solved. In this Special Issue, we aim to gather significant contributions for WSNs and activity recognition in the context of smart homes and smart cities. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fine-grained activity recognition;
- Human-assisted activity recognition;
- Deep learning for WSN applications;
- Custom-made WSN infrastructure;
- DIY projects for homes and cities;
- Distributed activity recognition;
- Online and real-time activity recognition;
- Power and calculation optimization for WSNs.

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.
