Abstract :
The New Zealand IEEE I&M Society held its annual two-day workshop at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, on Nov. 24-25, 2014. The theme was "Instrumentation and Measurement: New Zealand Challenges." The event was very well supported by approximately 90 attendees from universities, industry and research institutes from around New Zealand. Thirty-five of the attendees were students. A total of 46 abstracts were submitted to the workshop; 26 of these were invited to present their work in talks, and the other 20 were presented as posters. There was a broad variety of subjects presented in the talks, ranging from fundamental standards in metrology, advances in sensing and measurement techniques, and infrastructural issues around "the internet of things," to applications of measurement systems in health, medicine, science and agriculture.
