On behalf of the Organizing committee of the 14th IEEE SENSORS Conference, it is a great honor and pleasure to welcome you to South Korea and to Busan the 2nd largest city and the #1 trading port. For the conference venue we have selected BEXCO, a world class conference & exhibition center.  

IEEE SENSORS 2015 is honored to have as a technical co-sponsor the Korean Sensor Society, under the leadership of Shinwon Kang. The Korean Sensor Society partnership came from KSS submitting a bid package in 2012 to the IEEE Sensors Council for the 2015 SENSORS conference. The selection of KSS and Busan South Korea started a long partnership whose highlight is the IEEE 2015 SENSORS conference.

The Korean Sensors Society, is a non-profit, non-political, and learned society in the ROK with a 24 year history that supports scientific activities in sensor- and actuator-related sciences including readout and control circuit technologies. The Korean Sensors Society supports a nation-wide annual conference and symposium, and publishes Journal of Sensor Science and Technology published in Korean and English, respectively.

2015 is a year of 1st for SENSORS, we now have a full day Industry program organized by Industry committee chairs Chae Deok Lee and Sri Chandra. A new addition is live demonstrations under the leadership of Sandro Carrara.  Organizing committee chair Seok Jin Yoon and Local chair Wan-Young Chung have put together optional technical tours on Thursday.   Social media communications using Twitter twitter.com/SensorsCouncil and Facebook facebook.com/IEEESensorsCouncil with social media chair Frederick Livingston. 

Our Young Professionals Chair, Sinead O’Keefe will be hosting a Young Professionals reception on Monday afternoon. If you are within 10 years of your first degree please join her for this networking event.

The success of a conference depends not only on the technical program but also on the social program.  The highlights of this year’s social program will be the welcome reception at the Paradise hotel on the beautiful Haeundae Beach.  The BEXCO Center was chosen for the exceptional banquet facilities accommodating the large number of dinner guests, and the live entertainment stage and sound equipment. Banquet entertainment includes a local mix of three Korean performances; Lion Dance, Korean traditional performance with 4 different musical instruments and also mixture of Korean traditional songs and dance with b-boying. In addition to the lively entertainment, a short ceremony awards will be presented for the 2015 SENSORS best student paper contest, and the IEEE Sensors Council awards, Best Journal paper, Technical Achievement award and Meritorious Service awards.

IEEE has more than 426,000 members in more than 160 countries worldwide, more than 117,000 student members.  IEEE has 39 societies and six technical councils representing the wide range of IEEE Technical interests.  IEEE SENSORS conference is sponsored by the IEEE Sensors Council which has 25 member IEEE Societies. The Council is a multidisciplinary technical area of mutual interest, primarily through conferences and publications. 

The success of IEEE SENSORS 2015 is due to the dedication of more than 270 volunteers.  The Technical Program Committee (TPC) alone consisted of 220 volunteers.
