Guest Editorial Special Issue on Selected Papers From the IEEE Sensors Conference 2018

Abstract

Since its inception in 2002, the IEEE Sensors Conference has come a long way in establishing itself as a premier conference in the world on sensors and sensing technologies. With the entire world moving rapidly toward a ubiquitous intelligence society, the emphasis on deployment of trillions of sensors in the near future is driving the world of sensor technology like never before. It is reflected in the rapidly increasing research and development activities on sensors throughout the world today. The IEEE Sensors Council has done a remarkable job in promoting this area and providing a consistent platform for sharing and dissemination of knowledge related to all aspects of sensing and sensor development among researchers, manufacturers, and the users of sensors. The idea of holding the IEEE Sensors Conference in different parts of the world actively supports this promotion over different geographies. It could not have been more timely to hold SENSORS 2018, for the first time, in one of the largest and fastest developing economies of the world - India. The 2018 edition of the Sensors Conference was held on October 28–31 in New Delhi — the capital city of India that has been inhabited for six thousand years and has seen a great many upheavals in history.
