Preliminary Call for Papers
The 3rd International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN'04)
Pending sponsorship by ACM, IEEE, NSF, and DARPA
April 27-28, 2004 Berkeley, California, USA
* Submission Deadline: October 27, 2003 *
Following the success of the first two Workshops (www.parc.com/events/ipsn03), the 3rd International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks will bring together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent work in this emerging field.
Driven by advances in MEMS micro-sensors, wireless networking, and embedded processing, ad-hoc networks of sensors are becoming increasingly available for commercial and military applications such as environmental monitoring (e.g., traffic, habitat, security), industrial sensing and diagnostics (e.g., factory, appliances), critical infrastructure protection (e.g., power grids, water distribution, waste disposal), and situational awareness for battlefield applications.
Information processing in sensor networks draws upon many disciplines including signal processing/detection/estimation, networking and protocols, embedded systems, data bases and information management, as well as distributed algorithms. It opens up new research venues, which include sensor tasking and control, tracking and localization, probabilistic reasoning, sensor data fusion, distributed data bases, communication protocols and theory that address network coverage, connectivity, and capacity, as well as system/software architecture and design methodologies. Moreover, all these issues have to consider many cross-cutting requirements such as efficiency/cost tradeoff, robustness, self-organization, fault-tolerance, timeliness, scalability, and network longevity.
This Symposium will address issues from physical device design, to signal processing and from networking to coordination protocols. The Symposium will place special attention to revolutionary new applications that are enabled by sensor network technology.
Topical areas of sensor networks include, but not limited to:
* Distributed and collaborative signal processing * Network protocols for sensor networks * Coding, compression, and information theory * Distributed query processing * Detection, classification, estimation, and tracking * Network coverage, connectivity, and longevity * Sensor tasking and control * Embedded architectures and tools * In-network processing and aggregation * Data storage in sensor networks * Location and time services * Energy and resource management * Distributed inference and fusion * Programming models and languages * Real-time scheduling * Security and fault tolerance * Simulation tools and environments * Networked sensing and control * Applications of sensor networks (e.g., automotive, battlefield, biology, construction, disaster recovery, environmental, medical, security)
Along with a set of high-quality technical papers, IPSN'04 will also include invited talks that highlight the state-of-the-art of sensor network applications and research. The Symposium program will include poster sessions that provide researchers with opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the sensor network community at large. The Symposium will also include industrial exhibition and demonstrations.
