Nine organised themes
The 2018 special session programme extended the main tracks into systems control, electromagnetic applications, geoinformatics, data storage, renewable power, signal processing, analog circuits, automation and insulation.
1. ECTI SICE organised session on latest trend on systems and control
The session promoted exchange between ECTI and SICE researchers on systems and control, including complex dynamical systems, control design, hardware and software implementation, automation integration, maintenance and verification.
2. Innovative EM aspects in smart farm and smart city research
The session addressed electromagnetic research for smart farms and smart cities, including EM sensors, Internet of Things and RFID antennas, wireless sensor networks, microwave imaging and material processing using EM energy.
3. Geoinformatics for sustainable development
Climate monitoring and environmental analytics using satellite, UAV and terrain images, with applications in resource analysis, disaster management, agriculture and urban expansion.
4. Advance data storage technology
Communications, signal processing, coding and materials for higher storage capacity, including shingled magnetic recording, bit patterned media, two dimensional magnetic recording and heated dot magnetic recording.
5. Power electronics and renewable applications
Power converters, smart control, grid connection and protection for renewable energy systems. Chair: Yuttana Kumsuwan, Chiang Mai University.
6. Signal processing applications
