Welcome Message from the Chairs

Welcome to the 12th IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium 2017 in Glassboro, New Jersey, USA! The international Steering Committee for SAS welcomes you to the 12th annual symposium. The SAS 2017 Technical Program Committee led by the Chairs has marshalled the efforts of nearly 200 reviewers to assemble this year’s program of high-quality papers and events. We trust you will find the many opportunities available during the conference to be productive, energizing, and enjoyable. This is your conference—we welcome your ideas about how to make it better and more relevant to your needs. About the Conference—IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium (SAS) is one of the flagship conferences of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society. SAS brings together sensor developers, innovators and users, providing a forum for the exploration of new applications in sensor technology. The conference focuses on sensors, sensing methodologies, sensor fabrication technologies, and sensor applications. This year's conference is the 12th in a series for this global conference that has previously been held in Europe, USA, and Oceania. What’s New—The SAS 2017 steering committee is pleased to announce the addition of several new events. A pre-conference workshop on CubeSats will provide interested attendees an overview of the core subsystems required for small satellites. We are pleased to announce that the organizers of the Wireless Industrial Systems (WIS) Workshop chose SAS 2017 to co-locate their venue. During Day 1 of SAS 2017, the WIS Workshop will bring together governmental agencies, industry, and academia to define the next generation of wireless interface standards to better support industrial applications. On Day 2, an IEEE P21451-1 PlugFest provides a hands-on opportunity to learn about key elements of this standard. Another new addition is Measurement Needs—researchers with specific measurement needs will present brief summaries of their requirements to stimulate a dialog for identifying solutions. In the Open Forum, both scheduled and unscheduled presentation slots have been made available to accommodate papers and discussions that do not fit into regular sessions. Throughout the conference, a number of small collaboration rooms have been made available to encourage highly focused interactions. What’s Returning—The success of the Sensor Application Development Workshop series is being reprised. Now in its fourth iteration, this Day 2 workshop provides attendees with a guided hands-on smart phone development experience followed by a hackathon where users compete to develop a novel app. Last year’s success with the Recent Results poster session encouraged the Steering Committee to expand this opportunity for the sensor community to provide a forum to report and discuss their most recent work. These posters will be presented during Day 1. The Foundation—Special Sessions are one of the hallmarks of SAS. They offer the structure to report on work focused on carefully selected themes. This year’s Special Sessions include Self-Powered Sensors, Magnetic Sensors 1 and 2, Sensors for Oil and Gas, IEEE 21451, Sensors for Assistive Technology, and Sensors for UAV Security and Safety. Regular papers this year are organized along a number of themes including, Nonintrusive monitoring for shipboard applications, MEMS and nano-sensors, Biomedical sensors, Sensor systems for the Internet-of-Things, Flexible and wearable sensors, Applications of sensor systems, Smart buildings and agriculture, Sensor networks, Novel sensing technologies, and Robotics and automation. Plenary sessions are balanced by poster sessions to provide alternative venues for presenters to connect with other attendees. Posters provide more time for in-depth

2

discussion than provided by plenary sessions. Day 2 will have the regular posters. All attendees wishing more discussion time can take advantage of the many breakout rooms reserved for this purpose. Keynote speakers provide attendees with additional broad perspectives. This year, Mr. Michael McCloskey will share his insights into the role that sensors play at Lockheed Martin during the opening day. On Day 2, Dr. David Prutchi of Impulse Dynamics will share his insights into sensors for implantable devices. The SAS review process is designed to maintain the quality of accepted papers. To minimize the burden to authors, we have continued the approach of having only three possible outcomes: accept, accept with minor revision, or reject. SAS 2017 received 122 submissions and accepted 92 papers. A Special Issue of the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation & Measurement will contain extended papers selected on the basis of the results of regular peer review of the manuscripts submitted for consideration by the participants of SAS 2017. SAS 2017 is committed to encouraging student engagement in the field of sensors and instrumentation. To this end, a number of travel and best-paper awards are offered each year. We are pleased to report that SAS 2017 has awarded 6 student travel grants and 1 best student paper award. About Glassboro and points nearby: Glassboro is a university city that is in the triangle defined by New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. This gives visitors to Rowan University unique access to the many museums and sights of the northeastern region of the US. Glassboro traces its beginnings to 1779 when a glass factory was established here to take advantage of readily available high-quality sand, abundant oak for firewood, and the proximity to the markets of Philadelphia. The glass industry thrived until the Great Depression, which began in 1929. While no glass production continues in Glassboro, some remains in the Vineland and Millville areas 25 miles south. One of the homes, “Hollybush,” built by an early Glassboro glass pioneer was purchased by the city of Glassboro and donated to the state of New Jersey in exchange for starting a normal school. Hollybush at the then-named Glassboro State College played center stage during the cold war. The summit meeting in late June 1967 between President Lyndon Johnson and Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin was held at Hollybush due to its midway location between New York and Washington, D.C. In 1992, Henry and Betty Rowan endowed the college with a $100 million gift—at the time, the largest yet made to a public university. This gift started the engineering program and catalyzed a process of growth across the entire campus. Renamed in honor of the gift, Rowan University is now a research institution with two medical schools and a nearby technology park and business incubator. Philadelphia is the closest major metropolitan center. Visitors can enjoy the art museums along the Ben Franklin Parkway. In and around old town, visitors can see the Liberty Bell at the Constitution Center, tour the Philadelphia Mint, and may even see Ben Franklin himself walking the streets of Philadelphia dispensing his timeless sage advice!

Plenary Speakers

Michael McCloskey, Lockheed Martin Topic: An Overview of recent LM Sensor Development Programs and Military Sensor Trends Abstract: Lockheed Martin RMS Radar Systems have evolved significantly over the past 15 years, where three generations of Radar Systems with Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESAs) have been developed. This evolution has resulted in systems that have become highly modular and scalable, more compact and much more capable.

More recently, there have been advances in the underlying technologies employed by these systems that will enable a transformational change in future military sensor systems. These advances will result in even more capable multi-mission sensor systems that can meet the need for significantly increased capability and provide spectrum flexibility as the spectrum becomes more crowded and contested.

This keynote lecture will focus on recent LM Radar AESA advances, underlying technology advances and a discussion of future military multi-mission sensor trends. Speaker Biography: Michael McCloskey is the Director for Advanced Radar and Special Systems at Lockheed

Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) in Moorestown, NJ where he has been working

on military sensor systems for nearly 30 years. He has a Bachelor’s (1988) and Master’s

degree (1991) in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University and worked as a sensor

design engineer for 15 years before becoming a Program Manager for advanced sensor

systems in 2004. As a sensor design engineer, his focus was on radar signal processing

hardware development, ranging from ASICs and FPGAs to subsystem and system design

and development. Since 2004, Mr. McCloskey has been responsible for managing the

development of advanced radar systems employing the latest RF and Digital technologies to

meet very stressing system level requirements. His most recent assignment includes

managing the development of a family of wideband, multi-function converged sensors

intended for Space, Aero and Naval platforms.

David Prutchi, Impulse Dynamics Topic: Implantable Sensors for Closed-Loop Electroceutical Devices Abstract: Electroceuticals are medical devices that employ electrical currents to affect and modify body functions as an alternative to drug-based interventions. Modern electroceuticals employ sophisticated control strategies that go beyond simple stimulation-response mechanisms in order to modulate physiological regulation loops. Examples include modulation of cardiac contractility as a therapy for heart failure, modulation of gastric contractility as a therapy for diabetes, and modulation of vagus nerve traffic as a therapy for epilepsy and inflammatory diseases. Electroceutical research is still in its early stages, and thus represents an enormous opportunity for advanced sensor technologies that can enable the development of novel devices and therapies. Unlike other commercial devices however, developing systems for therapeutic applications takes place in a heavily regulated environment which requires decisive proof of the devices’ safety and efficacy. Costs, schedules, and clinical strategies must be planned accordingly to achieve success. This keynote lecture will focus on the sensor opportunities and challenges presented by this exciting new field in healthcare. Speaker Biography: David Prutchi received the B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees from Tel-Aviv University in 1987, 1989, and 1993, respectively. During 1993 he conducted Post-Doctoral research at Washington University in St. Louis. After that, Dr. Prutchi joined the implantables industry, and was in charge of cardiac pacemaker platform development at Sulzer-Intermedics. He is currently the Vice President of Product Development at Impulse Dynamics - a company that develops novel implantable active devices for the treatment of heart failure. Dr. Prutchi is the author of the books “Design and Development of Medical Electronic Instrumentation – A Practical Perspective of the Design, Construction and Test of Medical Devices,” “Exploring Quantum Physics Through Hands-On Projects,” and “Exploring Ultraviolet Photography – Bee Vision, Forensic Imaging, and Other Near-Ultraviolet Adventures with Your DSLR”. He has published over thirty papers and holds over eighty patents in the field of medical devices.
