The fourth IEEE Sensors 2005 Conference held in Irvine, California, USA. The conference has enjoyed an atmosphere of high quality technical presentations on a broad range of multidisciplinary topics related to sensors and sensor applications. The IEEE Sensors attracted over 600 participants that are leaders, researchers, and practitioners in the sensor field from around the world. This year we had 628 submissions from 48 countries, from among which 388 abstracts (310 oral and 78 posters) were selected for presentation at the conference, covering the theory, design and applications of sensor devices and systems. More than 70 people participated in a one day tutorial covering eight different topics in theory and application of sensors. The number of tutorial attendees is the largest since the conference started in 2001. The IEEE Sensors 2005 Conference enjoyed the Best Student Paper Competition to recognize excellence among its student participants. 113 student-papers were submitted for the competition.  10 finalists have been selected and the Best Student Paper award was presented at this year conference in Irvine.

Surfboards, beach balls and barbeque awaited more than 500 guests at UC Irvine’s reception for attendees of the IEEE 2005 Sensors Conference. In addition to an “Orange County” theme, conference attendees had the unique opportunity to participate in technology demonstrations held in UCI’s National Fuel Cell Research Center (NFCRC) and the California Institute for Telecommunication and Information Technology (Calit2); as well as view more than 50 posters describing leading-edge technologies designed in the Integrated Nanosystems Research Facility (INRF).
