Special Issue Call for Papers:
With the rise of new tendencies and technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT), and next generation mobile communications, the development of ICT solutions will continue its trend of miniaturization, integration, and intelligence. Sensors and microsystems are an organic combination of microelectronics, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), optoelectronics and other technologies, characterized by miniaturization and systematization. Sensors and microsystems are miniaturized by advanced integration methods, which produce new functions at the system level and greatly increase function density. In intelligent sensors and microsystems, the sensor module is used to acquire and collect data; the processing module is used for information conversion, calculation, storage, and system control; the communication module is used for information exchange and transmission; the execution module is used for the implementation of instructions and system actions; and the energy supply module is used for energy supply and optimized management. Compared with traditional SoC chips, MEMS components, optoelectronic modules, or integrated microsystems, intelligent sensors and microsystems constitute a qualitative leap in connotation and extension, that is not limited to the characteristics of high performance, ultra-precision, and dexterity.
Smart cities use various information technologies or innovative ideas to integrate the systems and services of the city. Intelligent sensors and microsystems are a dynamic, open, developing, and evolving concept. Advanced scientific and technological innovations such as AI, new generation communication, and quantum information are advancing by leaps and bounds. Breakthroughs in various new materials, structures, devices, and processes are also emerging. These cutting-edge technologies will continue to inject vitality into the technological innovation of intelligent microsystems. The application demand brought by social and economic development will drive the continuous breakthrough of intelligent sensors and microsystems technologies. Smart city support and applications also relate to the planning, management, operation, and long-term development of the city. The development of the modern city is digital-driven. In the process of urban planning, the application of leading digital technology and intelligent technology must be considered.
Thus, this special issue aims to provide a relevant opportunity for scholars in related fields to communicate and share applications and achievements of intelligent sensors and microsystem technology in the field of smart city development, and disseminate the latest research information and progress among the public.
