It is my great pleasure to invite you to submit an article for our Sensors & Transducers journal (ISSN: 2306-8515, e-ISSN 1726-5479) journal's issue devoted to ‘Sensors and Measurements in Critical Infrastructure Protection’. The purpose of this special issue is to present original articles and review papers that give an overview of current progress of research, development, improvement and applications of sensors and measurement procedures in the protection of critical infrastructures. Original research and review papers as well as technical –application papers are most welcome to this issue, focusing on the role of sensors and measuring techniques in the protection of critical infrastructures for preventing and acting against any threat and in the support of emergency response.

The topics covered in this issue and are related to critical infrastructure protection, but not limited to, include:

• Sensors and measuring procedures in critical infrastructures

• Smart sensors and systems

• Algorithms and Security protocols

• BigData analytics: techniques

• Supporting technologies for critical infrastructure protection and monitoring applications of sensors

• Sensors networks in early warning and security systems: components and devices

• Sensors communication technologies and types

• Sensors future applications and platforms for critical infrastructures

• Sensors power consumption and supply

• Theory, principles, effects, design, standardization and modelling

• Components for measuring systems used in critical infrastructures

• Global trends

• Role of sensoring and measuring in risk assessment and early detection of threats

• Management and monitoring

• Artificial Intelligent systems in critical infrastructure

• Smart library services for integrated systems

• Sensor systems for securing and emergency response in natural and man-made disasters in critical infrastructures

About the Journal

Sensors & Transducers is established, international, peer-reviewed, open access journal (print and electronic). It provides the best platform for the researchers and scientist worldwide to exchange their latest findings and results in science and technology of physical, chemical sensors and biosensors. The journal publishes original results of scientific and research works related to strategic and applied studies in all aspects of sensors: reviews, regular research and application specific papers, and short notes. In comparison with other sensors related journals, which are mainly focused on technological aspects and sensing principles, the Sensors & Transducers journal significantly contributes in areas, which are not adequately addressed in other journals, namely: frequency (period), duty-cycle, time-interval, PWM, phase-shift, pulse number output sensors and transducers; sensor systems; digital, smart, intelligent sensors and systems designs; signal processing and ADC in sensor systems; advanced sensor fusion; sensor networks; applications, etc. By this way the journal significantly enriches the appropriate databases of knowledge.

Sensors & Transducers journal has a very high publicity. It is indexed and abstracted very quickly by Chemical Abstracts, EBSCO Publishing, IndexCopernicus Journals Master List (ICV=6.13 in 2011), Open J-Gate, ProQuest Science Journals, CAS Source Index (CASSI), Ulrich's Periodicals Directory, Scirus, Google Scholar, etc. Since 2011 to 2014 Sensors & Transducers journal was covered and indexed by EI Compendex (CPX) index (including a Scopus, Embase, Engineering Village and Reaxys) in Elsevier products. The journal is included in the IFSA List of Recommended Journals (up-dated 9.12.2014), which contains only the best, established sensors related journals.

The global Impact Factor of the journal is 0.705 (2013).

The main reasons to publish your article in Sensors & Transducers journal:

1. Quick publication: 2-3 months from submission for standard publications and 1 month from submission for rapid publications.
