The tremendous progress in the theory and consequent product development in the fields of Computing, Communication and Sensor Networks (CCSN) led to the organization of International Conference CCSN 2015 at Kolkata, the city of Joy in India on 24th and 25th December, 2015. There were total about 70 papers presented on two days on the conference, covering the diverse areas of computing and communication technology that include research contributions on wireless and mobile communications, computer networks, sensor networks, computer applications, cloud computing, big data analysis, energy system, signal, image and video processing, nano-electronics to circuit and system level implantation etc. From the presented papers, 28 papers were selected based on the merits of technical content from the review reports as well as assessment by the domain experts present in the respective sessions, as an extended version (at least 40% as new content and contribution with respect to its conference version) submission in the MST Journal, Springer. The extended version of the selected papers were then uploaded by the corresponding author of each one to the journal through the editorial manager portal. Each paper was then assigned to two–three domain experts of the respective research fields across the globe for review. A few accepted papers had already been published in other issue of MST journal and the rest of the accepted papers are now going to publish.

On behalf of the organizing and program committee of the conferences we would like to thank the authority of MST, Springer to provide us opportunity to work as editor of the special issue. Also thanks to all reviewers of the articles for their esteem effort and time to uphold the spirit of the special issue of the Springer Microsystem Technology Journal. We hope the articles will be useful to the research community.


Sincerely,

Guest editor

Prof. Santi P. Maity
