The more accurate and reliable measured data are, the better is the opportunity to control and to advance the corresponding processes and products.
Appropriate metrology regulations, sophisticated measurement science and highly specialised sensors for the instrumentation of every possible process for monitoring our health and our environment are essential for relevant topics today, such as the Industrial Internet and the Internet of Things.
The SMSI brings scientists and researchers from all concerned scientific fields together to secure the success of these ideas in the future.
Unique event in Europe - a showcase for industrial applications, advances in R&D and prospects dedicated to measurements, analysis and testing processes.
The second edition of the Conference on Societal Automation will attempt to look in a holistic way at the Societal Automation domain in order to try to determine what solutions, technologies, architectural frameworks, and design tools are going to be needed in the design, development and deployment of future human-centered life-quality improving solutions and systems such as Cities of the Future, as well as economic aspects of innovation and new technology development.

Indoor air quality is a major public health concern with an estimated half million premature deaths caused annually in Europe alone. Conventional methods of indoor air quality measurements using analytical standards have multiple shortcomings. First, they do not allow continuous monitoring due to their high costs. Second, they predominantly measure nonpolar volatile organic compounds and are often neglecting permanent gases, very volatile, low volatile, and polar compounds. Low-cost sensors and sensor systems based on nanomaterials are an obvious supplement to the existing methods, which can measure continuously and cover a broad range of substances. Metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors can meet the requirements in sensitivity, selectivity, and stability, especially when used with dynamic operation, for example, temperature-cycled operation. The required sensitive sensors with short thermal time constants can be obtained by novel deposition methods for thin granular oxide films using pulsed laser deposition or flame spray pyrolysis. The quality of the measurement, especially concerning selectivity between VOC and permanent gases, can be improved further by integrated sensor preconcentrator systems, which have been demonstrated as low-cost system without mechanical actuators. The high relevance of IAQ measurements has been the driving force for the development of a new generation of digital gas sensors from various manufacturers, which have been released within the last few years.
