Sponsorship by IEEE Signal Processing Society and ACM SIGBED In cooperation with IEEE Communications Society and ACM Sigmobile With support from NSF and DARPA

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Preliminary Program And Call For Participation http://ipsn04.cs.uiuc.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Symposium Highlights ====================

This year's IPSN includes a diverse program of technical papers as well as a panel discussion.

Keynote speech: Dr. David L. Tennenhouse, Vice President, Corporate Technology Group, and Director, Research, INTEL CORPORATION

The panel discussion features Dr. P.R. Kumar (UIUC), Dr. Deborah Estrin (UCLA), Dr. Sri Kumar (DARPA), Dr. Kris Pister (UC Berkeley).

The symposium features six single-track sessions of oral paper presentations and two poster sessions, including state-of-the-art research results in all aspects of sensor networks, such as 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, and applications of sensor networks.

Objectives and Scope ====================

Following the success of the first two Workshops (www.parc.com/events/ipsn03), the 3rd International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks brings 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.

Bio of Keynote Speaker ======================

David L. Tennenhouse Vice President, Corporate Technology Group Director, Research INTEL CORPORATION

David Tennenhouse is an Intel Vice President in the Corporate Technology Group and Director of Research. He has been one of the pioneers of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networking, Active networks, Software Radio, and Desktop Media processing.

Tennenhouse previously served as Chief Scientist and Director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Information Technology Office. At DARPA, he directed a research program focusing on information technology issues of strategic concern to the U.S. government. As Office Director, Tennenhouse formulated DARPA's PRO-Active Computing research strategy which emphasizes the networking of embedded and autonomous systems. He was also a key player in the development of the U.S. government's Information Technology for the 21st Century (IT2) initiative.

Tennenhouse received his B.A.Sc. and M.A.Sc. degrees from the University of Toronto. In 1989, he completed his Ph.D. at the Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge. He then joined MIT, where he held appointments in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and in the Sloan School of Management.

In addition to his research activities, Tennenhouse has been actively involved in the development of commercial technologies and business strategies. He is one of the founders of a consulting firm with expertise in fault tolerant transaction processing and has been a consultant to a range of technology, venture capital and financial organizations.

Dr. Tennenhouse is a member of the ACM and IEEE and served on the Visiting Committee on Advanced Technology of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He has been a member of the National Science and Technology Council's Sub-committee on Computing Information and Communications R&D, and chaired the Technology & Policy Working Group of the President's Information Infrastructure Task Force. In addition to his journal and conference publications, Dr. Tennenhouse has chaired various workshops and studies concerned with Information Infrastructure, ATM/Gigabit networking, and Advanced Digital Television (HDTV).
