Background

In the research area “Advanced Integrated Sensing Technologies”, Safety and Security of Daily Life has been researched by three projects, which titles are shown as the session names below. In this workshop, each project will make presentation of the outline and the results of the research at the halfway point in five years for the research period.
All experts and anyone interested in safety and security of daily life are invited with no registration fee. We are looking forward to seeing you and having eager discussion at the workshop.
