CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue: "Ubiquitous Sensing" - Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220)
Impact Factor: 1.771 (2010); 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.917 (2010)

Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 April 2012

[Special Issue Information]
The era of ubiquitous sensing has begun recently thanks to the
proliferation of wireless sensors. For instance, modern smartphones are
equipped with a variety of sensors that can be used to continuously monitor
activities and locations of the users, and a rapidly growing number of
sensors are embedded into the physical world for monitoring of our living
environments. Ubiquitous sensing promises to enhance awareness of the
cyber, physical, and social contexts of our daily activities, thus
providing supports for services and applications that will change our lives.

This special issue aims to collect recent research results that address key
issues and topics related to ubiquitous sensing. We recommend authors
provide as much details as possible, extended long research papers or
comprehensive reviews (tutorial and survey papers approximately 30-50 pages
each are particularly welcome.

In addition to open submissions, authors of the 2011 IEEE International
Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social Computing (CPSCom 2011) and the
2011 IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things (iThings 2011)
will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to this special
issue for consideration. Manuscripts from the conferences must have at
least 40% extension compared with the conference versions.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Participatory sensing
- Human-centric sensing
- Sensing with smartphones
- Mobile sensing
- Ubiquitous sensing with RFID
- Sensing for social computing
- Community Sensing
- Wireless sensor networks
- Cyber-physical systems
- Internet of Things
- Platforms for ubiquitous sensing
- Ubiquitous sensing services and applications

[Submission]
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and
logging in to the website. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline.
Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be
listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review
articles as well as 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 refereed through a peer-review
process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission
of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page (
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/instructions). Sensors is an
international peer-reviewed Open Access monthly 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 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
