The CEATEC / EDNA Smart Devices Workshop follows the EDNA Smart Appliances Workshop held in November 2014 in Korea.  The scope of the Smart Devices Workshop is network-connected, mains-powered devices in the categories of consumer electronics (e.g. audio, video) and information and communications technology.  The workshop will be held alongside the CEATEC exhibition and IEA 4E meetings in Japan.  The objectives of the workshop are to:
