8–10 October 2018, Tallinn, Estonia
The 16th Biennial Baltic Electronics Conference
BEC2018, the 16th Biennial Conference on Electronics and Embedded Systems will be held in Tallinn, Estonia on October 8–10 2018. Tallinn University of Technology has been hosted previous Baltic Electronics Conferences in 1987, 1989, 1991, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016. The aim of the Conference is to promote research and development in the field of electronics and embedded systems, particularly in the Baltic Sea region.
Scope and Topics
"Smart space technologies and services" is very wide-ranging multidisciplinary research, development and application field of rapid growth and expansion. The conference BEC2018 will provide an opportunity to come together and discuss ones recent research work in defined topics of the field at an international forum in Tallinn, Estonia.
Topics of the BEC2018 will include, but will not necessarily be limited to, the following areas:
Cognitive Systems and Communication
Wireless communication and system (4G, 5G and beyond), RF and Optical aspects, Internet of things (LoRa, Sigfox, NB-IoT etc.), wearable sensor networks (on-body, off-body and body-to-body), Low-power platforms for communication, Cognitive networking.
Cyberphysical Systems
Heterogeneous components and design integration. Cognitive robotics. Critical infrastructures. Heterogeneous multi-agent systems. Smart sensing, monitoring, modelling and processing of biomedical data and objects.
Digital and Embedded Systems
