SCOPE

DTDA aims to establish a premier platform for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to converge and share their latest advancements in device technologies across diverse applications. This flagship conference will facilitate discussion, collaboration, and the exploration of innovative applications in the rapidly evolving field of electron devices and technologies.
DTDA is an annual conference sponsored by IEEE Electron Devices Society, dedicated to application-driven cutting-edge technologies. The conference goes beyond traditional approaches, incorporating non-conventional elements to engage attendees, foster innovation, and provide value to industry sponsors, including application sessions, interactive workshops, demo sessions, pitch and competition, art showcases, and various networking events where people interact and innovative ideas are born.

DTDA Event Activities – Unleashing Your Potential!

When DTDA is over, we aim for “Okay, let’s get started,” rather than “Goodbye, see you next time.” Workshops and pitches will be held throughout the conference to generate new ideas and collaborations. At the exhibition, you will discover exciting technologies and possibilities that you may not have known existed. We also plan to demonstrate technological advances through an experience-based Art showcase. DTDA will provide you with an opportunity for growth and discovery. Let’s start expanding our possibilities!

Additionally, papers on robotic technologies for smart city infrastructure, optimization of public services, urban transportation systems, and security robots are encouraged. Submissions related to key components of practical robotic systems (AI, sensors, actuators, control systems, energy sources and efficiency, interface technologies) and their applications in various fields are highly welcome.
  • Application Area 4: Mobility
    Chair: Chihiro Nakagawa, Osaka Metropolitan Univ., / Co-chair: Naoya Kaneko, Toyota Motor Corporation
    This area solicits papers on automotive and mobility technologies shaping future society. Topics include integrated control using sensors, ECUs, AI, and power electronics for electrification and autonomous driving, as well as reliability, degradation, on‑board diagnostics (OBD), and lifecycle‑oriented design including reuse and recycling. Contributions addressing simulation‑ and digital‑twin‑based design, predictive maintenance, and system integration are welcome. Research connecting mobility with urban and social infrastructures such as smart and woven cities, and studies leveraging extreme‑environment mobility (e.g., lunar mobility) to advance terrestrial systems, are encouraged. Carbon‑neutral achievement is regarded as an important background objective across all topics.
  • Application Area 5: Environmental Impact Mitigation, Energy Reduction and Water Risk Management
    Chair: Shin Nakagawa, SCREEN, / Co-chair: Slava Libman, FTD Solutions
    Papers are invited showcasing innovative technologies and strategies to address critical challenges, such as pollution reduction, conservation of natural resources, climate resilience, water scarcity, infrastructure constraints, operational efficiency. Environmental Impact Mitigation: Use smart technologies for real-time monitoring. Identify pollution sources with data analysis software and AI, and build eco-friendly infrastructure using green materials. Energy Consumption Reduction: Optimize consumption with energy efficient technologies and reduce it through innovative ideas and engineering solutions. Water Risk Management: Develop water resource management systems to promote reuse, and improve water quality with purification technologies. Our goal is to lead the way towards a sustainable future by incorporating advanced device technologies.
