Preface
The advancement in material sciences, electronics, embedded processing, and communication devices as well as the increased demand for small size, affordable sensors for accurate and reliable data recording, processing, storage, and communication are visible in the domain of modern sensing technologies. Sensors are extremely important in our everyday life. The sensors are used to gather data from environment, and information on weather, traffic congestion, air pollution, water pollution, etc., is obtained; they gather data on human body, and information on health, treatment, or therap
