Special Section on Sensor Applications

Sensor applications are one of the emerging topics in the worldwide frontiers of technologies such as smart city, better society, energy, health, environment, emergency management, and industry. The IEEE Sensor Applications Symposium (SAS) has been a leading forum to present novel approaches and emerging applications in sensor technology, including Internet of things, biosensors and arrays, smart sensors and standards, sensor networking, MEMS and nanosensors, virtual sensors, homeland security, multisensor data fusion, nondestructive evaluation and remote sensing, robotics and automation, electromagnetic sensors, computer vision, and commercial development. This special section on the ninth edition, SAS 2014, includes four papers from the symposium that illustrate the diversity of sensor applications emerging in technology and research.
