[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ===================================================================== ACM SenSys 2007: Call for Papers The 5th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems November 6-9, 2007* (subject to confirmation) Sydney, Australia http://sensys.acm.org/2007/ =====================================================================
Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, SIGMOBILE, SIGARCH, SIGOPS, SIGMETRICS and SIGBED (approval pending); with support from NSF. The 5th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) is a highly selective, single-track forum for the presentation of research results on systems issues in the area of embedded, networked sensors. Distributed systems based on networked sensors and actuators with embedded computation capabilities enable an instrumentation of the physical world at an unprecedented scale and density, thus enabling a new generation of monitoring and control applications. This conference provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing the design, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these systems. Sensor networks require contributions from many fields, from wireless communication and networking, embedded systems and hardware, distributed systems, data management, and applications, so we welcome cross-disciplinary work. This year we particularly encourage papers that extend the scope of the conference beyond wireless mote-class sensor networks and we seek contributions from a broad range of sensing-related fields, such as actuator networks, RFID applications, mobile ad-hoc networks, camera networks, and others. We seek technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Sensor network architecture and protocols Applications Rich sensor systems leveraging RFID, mobile devices (e.g., cell phones), cameras, robotics, etc. Analysis of real-world systems and fundamental limits Sensor network planning, provisioning, calibration and deployment Deployment experience and testbeds Experimental methodology, including measurement, simulation, and emulation infrastructure Integration with back-end systems such as web-based information systems, process control, and enterprise software Programming methodology Operating systems Sensor network algorithms such as localization, routing, time synchronization, clustering, topology control, and coverage control algorithms Failure resilience and fault isolation Energy management Data, information, and signal processing Data storage and management Distributed actuation and control Security and privacy Important dates: Paper Registration and Abstract: April 10, 2007, midnight US Eastern Time Paper Submission Deadline: April 17, 2007, midnight US Eastern Time Notification of Paper Acceptance: July 2, 2007 Camera Ready Paper Copy: August 30, 2007 All deadlines are firm; we will not honor extensions. Papers must be original, unpublished work not under consideration elsewhere. All submissions will be handled electronically and must be in PDF format. Papers must not exceed 14 pages (US "Letter" size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including all material (text, figures and references). The font size must be at least 10 points. Papers should be in two-column format with no more than 59 lines of text per column and at least 0.75" margins on all sides. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. The review process is double-blind and hence, all submissions must be anonymized. Selected papers of particular merit will be proposed for publication in the ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks. For submission details, see the conference web site. Demos: Demonstrations showing innovative research and applications are solicited. SenSys is very interested in demonstrations of technology, platforms, and applications of sensor systems. Abstracts of accepted demos will be published in the SenSys conference proceedings. Submissions from both industry and academia are encouraged. For submission details, see the conference web site. A call for demos with submission dates, etc., will be posted at a later point. Posters: Posters showing exciting early work on sensor systems are solicited. Areas of interest are the same as those listed in the technical call for papers. While the poster need not describe completed work, it should report on research for which at least preliminary results are available. For submission details, see the conference web site. A call for posters with submission dates, etc., will be posted at a later point. Workshops: Following last years workshop success, workshop proposals are highly encouraged in emerging areas related to sensor networks. A call for workshop proposals will be posted on the SenSys website. Organization: General Chair: Sanjay Jha (U. New South Wales) Program Co-Chairs: Phillip B.
