Leoben IoT Sensor Systems Symposium (IoT S3 2025) - Research, System Integration and Applications

Leoben, 27.11.2025

Recent advances in integrated sensors, embedded computing and wireless connectivity capabilities enable a multitude of wireless sensor node designs and applications to solve real-world problems. Unlocking these opportunities requires integration of emerging technologies in small, power-efficient and low-cost autonomous sensor nodes. 

Leoben – and Austria at large – hosts a rich and diverse set of research groups and companies working on (i) building blocks of IoT sensor systems, (ii) IoT sensor systems on the node- and system-level as well as (iii) putting autonomous sensor nodes into into real-world applications. 

The Leoben IoT Sensor Systems Symposium aims at documenting latest advances in novel sensor and sensor system technology, autonomous sensing nodes and edge signal processing and putting them in context (i.e. matching with requirements of use-cases in industry, environment, and consumer). We provide a platform for exchange between academic and industrial players, fostering collaboration. 

We invite contributions in the form of oral presentations (15min+5min discussion) and/or poster presentations addressing topics including  

  • Novel integrable sensor concepts 
  • Advances in sensor node integration technology (PCB embedding, in-package integration, memory) 
  • Advances in signal processing on low-power CPUs (including Edge AI) 
  • Tools for efficient simulation of sensor node power consumption / lifetime 
  • Low-power embedded system architectures 
  • Integrable energy harvesting concepts, including energy storage and management 
  • Integrable low-power RF communication (including printed and in-package antennas)
  • Applications of autonomous sensor nodes in 

Industrial applications 

Condition Monitoring 

Biomedical, Sport and Health 

Structural Health Monitoring 

Natural Disaster Monitoring and Monitoring of Protective Structures 

Interested Authors are asked to submit an extended Abstract of max. 2 pages including pictures using the given template (LaTeX or clone from Overleaf template). Each abstract should either present a technology pushing the frontier of autonomous sensor nodes or motivate at least one requirement not fulfilled by currently available autonomous sensor nodes. Abstract submission is managed via easychair (IoT S3 Submission page).
