This book provides a thorough overview of cutting-edge research on electronics applications
relevant to industry the environment and society at large. It covers a broad spectrum of
application domains from automotive to space and from health to security while devoting
special attention to the use of embedded devices and sensors for imaging communication and
control. The book is based on the 2016 ApplePies Conference held in Rome Italy in September
2016 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
addressed 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 represents a valuable
contribution in this endeavor.
