Alain Pegatoquet, Bruno Andò

Abstract: The IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium (SAS) 2019 was the 14th edition of this conference. SAS, one of the flagship conferences of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society, brings together sensor developers, innovators, and users, providing a forum for the exploration of new applications in sensor technology. SAS 2019 was very successful thanks to a large number of high-quality articles and the numerous participants who attended the conference, one-third of them were students. A wide range of subject areas was covered during SAS 2019, such as sensor data fusion, energy harvesting for sensors, biomedical sensors and systems, industrial applications, novel sensing technologies, smart building, and smart agriculture. In addition, hot topics, such as assisted living for the aging population, flexible and wearable sensors, sensors for automotive applications, and smart IoT sensing and networking, were also addressed.
