Starting from the basic principles, this book surveys recent work on electronic noses and presents numerous practical applications. It stresses developments since the first meeting on electronic noses in 1991 and includes a comprehensive appendix, making it an invaluable resource for anyone researching electronic noses or machine olfaction.

Sensors and Sensory Systems for an Electronic Nose reviews the current state of progress in the development of an electronic instrument capable of olfaction. The instrument -- the so-called electronic nose -- has enormous potential for application in such areas as product flavor control and environmental monitoring.
The book discusses the essential elements of an electronic nose, such as chemical sensors, signal processing, and pattern recoginiton techniques. It is also one of the first contributions to the new and exciting field of machine olfaction.
