ITG-Fb. 251: Smart SysTech 2014

Over the last years, the European Conference on Smart Objects, Systems and Technologies (former European Workshop on Smart Objects) has become a central platform in Europe for personal networking and information exchange in the ! eld of RFID technologies and applications.

While the networking of objects for the purpose of data collection and distributed control is no longer a recent phenomenon, the sheer number of things that are networked to information systems has dramatically risen. Today, the Internet is increasingly extended to all kinds of
physical assets: product components, ! nished products, logistic units, equipment, documents, vehicles, buildings and electronic meters as well as embedded systems of all kind. Mature industries, like the energy or automotive are in euphoric mood and accordingly, we see enormous research and technological development activity: For instance, Auto-ID technologies such as RFID are being increasingly combined with data storage capacity and sensors or other communication devices that provide real-time data such as position, temperature, pressure,
vibrations etc. These special-purpose computer systems are able to sense information from the real world or perform actions upon it and are also able to communicate with other networked computer systems.

Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library.
