The 15th Annual International Conference on
Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS 2019)

May 29-31, 2019
Santorini Island, Greece

DCOSS 2019 is the 15th International Conference on Distributed Computing 
in Sensor Systems to be hosted on Santorini Island in Greece, in May 
29-31, 2019. In the last few years, we have witnessed a significant 
growth in the use of distributed sensor systems in a number of 
application areas, ranging from smart transport, energy and buildings, 
to factory automation, smart healthcare and environmental monitoring. In 
order for smart sensor systems to truly become useful and pervasive, we 
need to address a number of research challenges, including the tight 
integration of sensing and machine intelligence, reliable and efficient 
networking, interoperability and scalability, the need for dependable 
autonomy, interaction with humans, and important aspects of security, 
privacy and trust. DCOSS focuses on distributed information processing 
issues arising in networked sensor systems, covering aspects of high 
level abstractions, models and languages, novel algorithms and 
applications, system design approaches and architectures, as well as 
tools for simulated and real deployments.

Potential authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts 
that demonstrate recent advances in both theoretical and experimental 
research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Edge and fog computing: distributed computing models from sensor to cloud
- Energy harvesting models and optimisation
- Machine intelligence in distributed sensor systems and real time analytics
- Communication and networking primitives and protocols
- Autonomy: closing the loop between sensing and actuation
- Task allocation, reprogramming, and reconfiguration
- Robustness, resilience and dependability
- Security and privacy issues
- Approaches, tools, and experience of deployment and operation
- Performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability
- Mobile and human-centered sensing
- Interoperability, heterogeneity and scalability
- Crowd sensing and social sensing techniques, applications, and systems
- Complex systems comprising wearable, robotic and/or fixed sensor systems
- Novel and compelling applications
