Reliability Improvements in Sensors Networks

Dear Colleagues,

Sensor networks are crucial for the functioning of mobile devices and the Internet of Things as data are collected and processed through these networks. Ensuring the robustness of sensor networks is thus crucial. This can be achieved via developing a suitable reliability model and then evaluating the network’s performance. We invite high-quality papers focusing on this issue, considering both theory and practice. Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Mathematical and statistical methods in reliability;
• Big data modeling;
• Reliability and dependability of sensor networks;
• Reliability modeling and optimization;
• Prediction of reliability for networks;
• Quality measurement of networks;
• Performance evaluation for networks;
• Decision support for networks;
• Networks in smart production, manufacturing, or logistics.

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.
