This book provides a thorough overview of cutting-edge research on electronics applications
relevant to industry the environment and society at large. A wide spectrum of application
domains are covered from automotive to space and from health to security and special attention
is devoted to the use of embedded devices and sensors for imaging communication and control.
The book is based on the 2014 APPLEPIES Conference held in Rome which brought together
researchers and stakeholders to consider the most significant current trends in the field of
applied electronics and to debate visions for the future. Areas covered by the conference
included information communication technology biotechnology and biomedical imaging space
secure clean and efficient energy the environment and smart green and integrated transport.
As electronics technology continues to develop apace constantly meeting previously unthinkable
targets further attention needs to be directed toward the electronics applications and the
development of systems that facilitate human activities. This book written by industrial and
academic professionals will hopefully contribute in this endeavor.
