Wireless identification and sensing systems already play a paramount role in everyday life, and their significance will further increase in the future. Numerous new needs to implement these systems have emerged, for example, in the fields of radio frequency identification (RFID), wireless sensor networks, and biomedical systems. The possibilities of wireless identification and sensing systems in many fields enhancing the quality of human life have gained interest within research groups all over the world. Antennas are critical building blocks of these systems, and novel antenna designs and design methods are crucial in the research and development work of novel wireless identification and sensing systems. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Novel antenna designs for wireless identification and sensing systems
• Antenna-sensor integration
• Novel materials and fabrication techniques for antenna and sensor manufacturing
• Antenna performance characterization methods in wireless identification and sensing systems
• Antenna matching techniques and miniaturization approaches for wireless identification and sensing systems
• Antenna interaction with application environments
