Message from the chairmen

This is the 11th IEEE SENSORS conference. Based on the technical and social programs, this conference promises to be one of the best, if not THE best of the 11. Based on the preregistrations, the attendance is expected to be between 650 and 700. The number of abstract submissions, 1081, is close to the all-time record of 1092, in 2009. The acceptance rate is 54%. Of the 579 accepted papers, 266 will be presented in oral and 313 in poster sessions. It is important to note that the poster and oral paper submissions have undergone identical peer reviews. Where a paper is presented has no relationship to its quality. It depends only on where the paper best fits into the program.
