-=* The 15th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) *=- Call for Papers
To help prospective authors concentrate their efforts on one paper at a time, the abstract registration and submission deadline for “new directions” papers is shifted by three weeks. Check below the new dates.
Sensors have become an essential part of computing systems and applications. Computing today is increasingly characterised by ubiquitous, information-rich sensors that produce massive quantities of data about the physical world. This new era of computing is driving important new systems issues, and requires new system-level approaches and design principles.
The ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2017) is a computer systems conference focused on the architecture, design, implementation, and performance of sensors, broadly defined, as well as sensor-enabled smart systems. ACM SenSys brings together academic, industry, and government professionals to a single-track, highly selective forum on networked sensing design, implementation, and applications. ACM SenSys is the premier forum to discuss systems issues that arise specifically due to sensing. The conference takes a broad view on the areas of computing that are relevant to the future of sensor systems, and topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
* New platforms and hardware designs for sensor-enabled systems * Systems software, including operating systems and network stacks * Low power operation, energy harvesting, and energy management * Applications and deployment experiences * Protocols for sensing devices and their connection to the Internet * Mobile and pervasive systems, including personal wearable devices and robots * Sensing, actuation, and control * Key system services such as time and location estimation * Data management, including quality, integrity, and trustworthiness * Learning, adaptation, and autonomy in cyber physical systems * Fault-tolerance and reliability * Heterogeneous multi-agent sensing, including human-robot sensor systems * Security and privacy of sensor-enabled computer systems
We invite technical papers describing original ideas, ground-breaking results, and/or real-world experiences involving innovative sensor systems. Successful submissions will explain why the topic is relevant to a vision of the future of sensing systems. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. In addition to citing relevant, published work, authors must cite and relate their submissions to relevant prior publications of the their own. Ethical approval for experiments with human subjects should be demonstrated as part of the submission.
In addition to regular papers around the topics above, ACM SenSys this year solicits new directions papers discussing the future of sensor-enabled computer systems. New direction papers shall present a compelling vision of the field five years from now, discuss what current or foreseeable technologies hold the highest potential within this time frame, and argue on what are the key research problems the community needs to tackle right now to eventually realize this vision. New direction papers will be reviewed separately by the SenSys steering committee. Accepted papers will be part of the proceedings, alongside regular papers, and their authors will be invited to a panel session, together with leading experts, to share their vision. "New directions" papers are required to follow the same submission guidelines, but be limited to 6 pages everything included.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions must be full papers, at most 12 single-spaced 8.5” x 11” pages, including figures and tables, but excluding references, two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point (tight single-spaced) leading, with a maximum text block of 7” wide x 9” deep with an intercolumn spacing of .25”. Submissions may include as many pages as needed for references. The review process is double-blind. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions. Prior works of their own must be discussed by referring to the authors in third person. Papers that do not meet the size, formatting, and anonymization requirements will not be reviewed. Accepted submissions will be available on the ACM digital library at least one week before the conference.
Important Dates
