Page 1 of 3 Fundamentals of signal and data processing
Alpbach, Austria ScopeThe 3rd NOSE II Short Course was held in Alpbach (Austria) from 21 - 26 March, 2004. The short course, entitled “Fundamentals of signal and data processing”, was devoted to signal and data processing issues in electronic noses and smart gas sensor arrays. It was addressed to students (advanced undergraduate, master and PhD) and researchers in the field with interests in data analysis, as well as to members of the industry with interest in the processing of multivariate information from diverse sources. During five days, the course covered fundamental concepts with a strong emphasis on the application side. To support this goal a set of practical computer exercises have been devised to illustrate the theory and to give hands-on experience to the attendants. Lectures were given by members of the e-nose community with several years experience in data processing issues in artificial olfaction and well-known chemometricians and experts in pattern recognition. Seven lecturers were invited to give a total of 27.5 h of lectures and exercises. However, the agenda left enough time for informal meetings and intense discussion among the participants.The purpose of the course can be summarized as following:
As many as 69 participants were finally registered for the event. As the event was initially planned for about 50 participants (excluding lecturers) all available places were occupied. Demand was clearly exceeding the available space in the lecture hall, so unfortunately some applications could not be accepted. This shows clearly the need for this kind of educational events in the e-nose and sensor community. The students with a background of mainly engineering, physics, chemistry, and computer science came from almost all European countries.
