Call for Research Posters Related to COVID-19 Pandemic Response
===============================================================

Submission deadline: 23:59 (AoE), September 25, 2020
Conference: November 16-19, 2020 (entirely online)
http://sensys.acm.org/2020

We sincerely hope that you and your family members are staying safe 
during the COVID-19 pandemic. As an embedded and
mobile sensing community, many research groups are putting together 
efforts to assist healthcare workers in better treating
this world-wide pandemic, as well as to support general public in better 
protecting themselves from potential risks of exposure.
ACM SenSys 2019 will host a special session for sharing such efforts and 
solicits submissions of poster-style abstracts
reflecting on-going research progress. We welcome submissions that 
discuss topics related to (but are not limited to) the following

- Contact tracing technologies for COVID-19
- Data collection and analytics for COVID-19
- System design and deployment experiences
- IT-medicine collaborative efforts in tackling infectious diseases
- Clinical support systems for pandemic response
- System design for remote education
- Other system design and implementation experiences to address 
challenges in the with-COVID-19/post-COVID-19 era

Submitted abstracts will be evaluated based on technical merit and 
innovation as well as their potential to stimulate interesting
discussions and exchange of ideas.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be given a one-minute slot in a 
“madness session” during the SenSys main conference
to present their work in front of the conference audience, in addition 
to the poster presentation with other SenSys2020 poster
track accepted authors. (Detail format of the presentation mentioned 
above is yet to be decided.)

All abstracts shall be formatted according to the main conference paper 
layout. Accepted abstracts will appear in the
conference proceedings and the ACM Digital Library.

Award
All papers will be considered for the Best Research Award (COVID-19 
Pandemic Response Track). The program committee
will select candidates for the award among accepted papers and select 
one or more award papers.

Submission Instructions
Abstracts must be submitted as a single PDF containing no more than 2 
pages. The submission should be self-contained
ready for publication, including the title, authors, institutional 
affiliations and contact information, abstract, main body, and
references. Submissions must use a 10pt font (or larger) and be 
correctly formatted for printing on Letter-sized (8.5" by 11")
paper. Paper text blocks must follow ACM guidelines: double column, with 
each column 9.25" by 3.33", 0.33" space
between columns and single-spaced. Submissions can use this LaTeX 
template that is known to comply with the formatting
requirements. Please DO NOT anonymize your submission. Upon acceptance, 
instructions for the final camera-ready
abstract will be provided.

You may include links to additional online material such as videos. 
Links to videos showing the demonstration are especially
 encouraged. Videos of accepted abstracts will be linked from the 
SenSys web pages and permanently included in the
ACM Digital Library.

At least one author of an accepted paper needs to register for the 
conference and present the paper at the conference.
(Discount author rate for the authors on this track is now under 
consideration. TBD)

SenSys2020 goes to entirely online: We've been monitoring the progress 
of COVID-19 pandemic. It is a very dynamic target and the risk of mass 
physical gathering remains high. Putting the wellbeing of the community 
above all, we, the entire OC and SC, have decided to take SenSys2020 
entirely virtual. With the change, we'll also be able to offer a 
discount registration fee while you worry less about travel 
restrictions/costs. Therefore, please do not hesitate to contribute your 
latest research result to the conference! We believe the decision is the 
best, albeit difficult, for us all, and the local OC members hope 
sincerely that there will be other opportunities to welcome you all to 
Japan.
