 ACM SenSys 2008: Call for Papers
 The 6th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems
 November 5-7, 2008
 Raleigh, NC, USA
 http://sensys.acm.org/2008/
 ============================================================================



 The 6th 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.

 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 technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research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
 * 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 methods, including measurement, simulation, and  emulation
 infrastructure
 * 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
 * Applications
 * Security and privacy
 * Integration with back-end systems such as web-based information systems,
 process control, and enterprise software


 Program Co-Chairs: Margaret Martonosi, Princeton University; Adam
Wolisz, TU
 Berlin
 Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, SIGMOBILE, SIGARCH, SIGOPS, SIGMETRICS and
SIGBED; with support from NSF.

 Important dates:
 * Paper Registration and Abstract: April 7, 2008, 5pm US Eastern Time
 * Paper Submission Deadline: April 14, 2008, 5pm US Eastern Time
 * Notification of Paper Acceptance: July 18, 2008
 * Camera Ready Paper Copy: August 25, 2008

 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, fitting
length and
 formatting guidelines as directed on the submission webpage. 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: Workshop proposals are highly encouraged in emerging areas
related
 to sensor networks. A call for workshop proposals will be posted on the
SenSys
 website.
