16 TH –18 TH APRIL 2024INVITATIONThe key mission of the Smart Systems Integration Conference
is to align research, technology and dissemination activities
along the value chain for future smart and sustainable systemsolutions. Its community is connected by the aspect of system
integration from System on Chip via System in Package toSystem Applications – including hardware and software. The
conference connects participants from academia and industry
as well as policy and decision makers. The three-day event
is jointly organised by Fraunhofer ENAS together with theEuropean Association on Smart Systems Integration (EPoSS)
to combine technology and policy aspects in one event.
Silicon Saxony supports the technical organisation of theconference. The European autonomy on chips envisaged andthe requirements for secure communication enhances thedemand for joint efforts for integrated smart and sustainable system solutions on all levels. Still, the autonomy on chips must
be discussed in an international context.
The special topic at the Smart Systems Integration 2024 is dedicated to artificial intelligence in Smart Systems. Organised
by Fraunhofer ENAS, this session addresses AI hardware archit
ectures, AI solutions for signal and sensor data fusion,
application spaces as well as cross-section topics like data
privacy, security and human acceptance of AI. Beyond
research and development topics, EPoSS as co-organiser willhold sessions on strategy and business creation as well as theimpact of European-funded projects in the domain of SSI.
In an engaging and compact format, the conference provides
a unique and valuable opportunity to interact with thestakeholders of the Smart Systems community along thevalue chain by means of technical sessions, strategy panels,
job opportunities, podium discussions and exhibition booths.
On behalf of the entire committee, we are looking forward toreceiving your innovative abstracts.
