Call for Papers: The 2016 ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2016)

[We sincerely apologize if you have received unintended cross-mails]

Dear Colleagues,

The 14th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2016) introduces a highly selective, single-track forum for research on systems issues of sensors and sensor-enabled smart systems, broadly defined. Systems of smart sensors will revolutionize a wide array of application areas by providing an unprecedented density and fidelity of instrumentation. They also present various systems challenges because of resource constraints, uncertainty, irregularity, mobility, and scale. This conference provides an ideal venue to address research challenges facing the design, development, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these systems. Sensing systems require contributions from many fields, from wireless communication and networking, embedded systems and hardware, energy harvesting and management, distributed systems and algorithms, data management, and applications, so we welcome cross-disciplinary work.

November 14-16, 2016 Stanford, California http://sensys.acm.org/2016/

Important Dates: • Paper Registration and Abstract: April 3, 2016, AOE. • Paper Submission Deadline: April 10, 2016, AOE. • Notification of Paper Acceptance: July 17, 2016. Note: These are hard deadlines. No extension will be granted. Sensors have become an essential part of computing systems and applications. Computing today is increasingly characterized 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 2016) 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. It is the premier forum to discuss systems issues that arise specifically due to sensing. SenSys 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 technology, platforms and hardware designs • Systems software • Low power operation, energy harvesting, and energy management • Applications and deployment experiences • Networking and protocols for embedded devices and the Internet • Ubiquitous, mobile and pervasive systems • Actuation and control (cyber-physical systems) • Key services as time and location estimation • Data storage, retrieval, processing, and management • Wearable and human-centric devices • Fault-tolerance and reliability • Data quality, integrity, and trustworthiness • Security and privacy • Programmability and manageability of sensor networks • Compelling challenge papers grounded in technology trends

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.

Submission Guidelines: Submissions must be full papers, at most 12 single-spaced 8.5” x 11” pages, including figures, tables, with additional two pages for references, in two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading, with a maximum text block of 7” wide x 9” deep with an inter-column spacing of .25”. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions. 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.

Latex Class and Sample Latex Files You can use the sensys-proc.cls file in this zip file. There is also a template LaTeX file for your use. Please do not modify any spacing parameters. We successfully typeset Karthik et al.'s Sensys 2011 paper on Karma with this style file and tested on the submission site. All papers must be submitted through the conference submission site: http://hotcrp.andrew.cmu.edu/sensys2016/
