SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing Application Tracks

Presentations on three focused topics: AI/ML, Sustainability, and Microelectronics

What is an application track?

An application track is a grouping of presentations on a topic of widespread interest across different conferences. During abstract submission, the submitting author should select an application track if it is relevant to their research. When the program is published online, presentations within each application track can be filtered so they display together in a single view. Find links to the applicable presentations for each application track below.

What are the benefits of application tracks?


Application tracks enable attendees to explore groups of presentations in the conference programs to more easily plan their event schedule around a specific topic of interest. Application track filters span across all conferences at an SPIE event. Application tracks also benefit authors' by making their presentations easier to find.

Authors: Add an application track to your submission and help your research get noticed


During submission of your abstract, select an application track if the topic aligns with your research. Adding an application track to your presentation will bring extra visibility to your work and help connect you with colleagues in the community.
