CALL FOR PAPERS
Description:
BEC2024, the 19th Biennial Conference on Electronics and Embedded Systems, will be held in Tallinn, Estonia on October 2-4, 2024. Tallinn University of Technology has been hosting previous BEC editions since 1987; 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. Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is unique in terms of its medieval old town, characterized by narrow, curved streets and tiled roofs. First records about Tallinn date back to the beginning of the last millennium. During its long and eventful history, Tallinn has been a remarkable centre of craftsmen, artists and merchants in Europe, belonging to the Hanseatic league. In addition to state-of-the-art scientific and technical sessions, BEC2024 will include a rich social and networking program in different locations in the city of Tallinn.
The theme of BEC2024 is:
The theme for BEC2024 is “Green and Dependable Electronics for a Sustainable and Resilient World”. Indeed, green and dependable electronics and embedded systems are essential for a sustainable and resilient world, and they contribute to address some of the major global challenges that humanity is facing: climate change, sustainability, urbanization, health and well-being. By attending BEC2024, you will be able to: Explore how electronics and embedded systems can contribute to solving these challenges and how they can be designed and deployed in a sustainable, ethical, and inclusive manner; Keep up with the latest trends and developments in electronics and embedded systems; Learn about the emerging technologies and applications that are transforming the field; Witness some of the cutting-edge demonstrations and prototypes of electronics and embedded systems; Update your knowledge on the best practices and standards in electronics and embedded systems; Network with experts from the Baltics and Nordics; And more!
