56th International Conference on Sensors Engineering and Electronics Instrumentation Advances (SEIA' 2020),
23-25 September 2020, Porto, Portugal

Foreword
On behalf of the SEIA’ 2020 and IFTC’ 2020 Organizing Committees, we introduce with pleasure theseproceedings devoted to contributions from the 6th International Conference on Sensors and Electronic
Instrumentation Advances 2020 and 2nd IFSA Frequency & Time Conference held in Porto, Portugal. Theconference is organized by the International Frequency Sensor Association (IFSA) - one of the major professional,
non-profit association serving for sensor industry and academy more than 20 years in technical cooperation withIFSA Publishing, S.L., web portal ‘My Dear Drone’ and our media partners – journals ‘Soft Measurements andComputing’; MDPI Sensors, and Sensors and Materials. The conference program provides an opportunity for
researchers interested in various applications of sensing and measurement to discuss their latest results andexchange ideas on the new trends. The main objective of the conference umbrella is to encourage discussion on abroad range of related topics and to stimulate new collaborations among the participants.
Extending the tradition that began in 2015 in Dubai, UAE, this conference umbrella attracts researchers andpractitioners from around the world including 3 keynote speakers from a distinguished researchers of industry andacademia from Italy, Portugal and USA, who were invited to overview the progress in selected research trends.
This year, we had more than 70 submissions from 21 countries (12 European and 9 non-European countries), fromwhich 50 abstracts (43 oral and 7 posters) were selected for presentation at the Conference covering theory, design,device technology, and applications of sensors and sensing systems.
The proceedings contains all papers of both: oral and poster presentations (in-person and virtual) and keynote
presentations. We hope that these proceedings will give readers an excellent overview of important and diversity
topics discussed at the conference.
We thank all authors for submitting their latest work, thus contributing to the excellent technical contents of theConference. Especially, we would like to thank the individuals and organizations that worked together diligently
to make this Conference a success, and to the members of the International Program Committee for the thoroughand careful review of the papers. It is important to point out that the great majority of the efforts in organizing thetechnical program of the Conference came from volunteers.
