Originally rooted in RFID research, the International Symposium on RFID, Electromagnetics, and Electronics for IoT Devices has progressively expanded to embrace a broader spectrum of electromagnetic and electronic technologies. Organized within the framework of the International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Technologies (SpliTech), the symposium provides a dedicated forum for hardware-oriented research spanning RFID, antennas, RF and microwave circuits, electromagnetic systems, and enabling technologies for IoT and wireless applications.

Its aim is to highlight recent scientific advances, innovative concepts, and experimental developments in RFID, electromagnetics, and electronics, with particular emphasis on hardware design, implementation, and validation. Contributions addressing both theoretical and applied aspects are welcome, provided they demonstrate a clear connection to hardware-level challenges and solutions.

Particular attention is devoted to RF and microwave circuit design, antenna technologies, integrated hardware solutions, co-design methodologies, and optimization strategies aimed at improving system performance, reliability, efficiency, and scalability.

By bringing together researchers, engineers, and practitioners from complementary disciplines, the symposium encourages the exchange of ideas, discussion of emerging challenges, and development of collaborations across the RFID, electromagnetics, and electronics communities.

The main goal of the Symposium is to present and discuss recent advances in the area of the Internet of Things, Embedded systems, Intelligent Systems and Smart Environments that are becoming research topics more and more interesting for both academia and industry. This symposium will provide an opportunity for scientists, engineers and researchers to discuss new applications, design problems, ideas, solutions, research and development results, experiences and work-in-progress activities in this important technological area.

Special session

A future ‘Smart Distributed Electrical Energy Network’ will serve as a dynamic network for multi-directional energy flows, linking widely distributed small capacity intermittent renewable energy systems at consumer level (distribution network) and centralized higher-capacity power generators, facilitating active participation of customer choice for demand side management, energy production / storage, and providing real-time information on the performance and optimal operation of the smart electrical energy network.

In this special session, high quality research articles are invited on the following topics:

 Intelligent integration of renewable energy sources within the distributed network.

 Machine learning techniques for load and generation predictions, and for operation and control.

 Distributed network interaction performance of renewable energy systems (e.g. solar photovoltaic system, fuel cells, distributed generators), power conditioning devices for intelligent integration of renewable energy systems.

 Demand side management, control and operation of distributed generators.

 Energy storage (e.g. battery, hydrogen, etc.) within the distributed network.

 Smart micro-grid architecture (AC as well as DC micro-grid).

 Impact of electric vehicles charging management on distributed network.

 Techno-economics of distributed generators.

 Energy pricing systems for promotion of smart distributed network.

Human intelligence and emerging technologies, such as AI, agentic IoT, and Digital Twins, bring complementary strengths to address complex societal and environmental challenges. While AI excels at processing large amounts of data, identifying patterns, and generating recommendations, humans contribute contextual knowledge, critical thinking, values, and collective judgement. Humanized Computing brings these capabilities together through Human-AI Collaboration, Citizen Science, and Reciprocal Learning, enabling people and intelligent systems to learn from each other and make better decisions. Moving beyond human-in-the-loop approaches, this vision explores how citizens, communities, and AI systems can share decision-making responsibilities, negotiate autonomy levels, and co-govern sustainability transitions.

At SpliTech 2027, the Special Session Humanized Computing: Human-AI Collaboration and Co-Governance for Sustainability will explore how these synergies can support more inclusive, transparent, accountable, and sustainable decisions.

Key themes include:

→ Combining Citizen Science, Collective Intelligence, and emerging technologies to support participatory decision-making.

→ Exploring Reciprocal Learning, Human-AI collaboration, and adaptive levels of autonomy and AI delegation.

→ Designing community-in-the-loop governance approaches that ensure human agency, transparency, and accountability.

→ Co-creating solutions for sustainability challenges, including climate action, air quality, sustainable mobility, and resilient communities.
