Fifth International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems (INSS 2008)

June 17-20, 2008 Kanazawa, Japan http://www.inss-conf.org/ Sponsored by SICE, IEEE **********************************************************************

During the past years, the International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems (INSS) has established itself as THE scientific event where academic and industrial experts from the areas of sensor systems, wireless networks, and sensor network applications come together. The INSS provides a forum to hear about the latest developments in these areas, to exchange ideas, and to start up collaborations within these fields and between industry and academia.

Call for Scientific Contributions --------------------------------- INSS 2008 is the fifth annual conference in the series, and features a highly selective technical program. We invite outstanding research papers for the regular paper track from the field of sensor technology, wireless networking, and applications of networked sensor systems. The conference especially encourages submissions that investigate research issues shared between all three areas. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Applications of Networked Sensing Systems - Prototypes, Field Studies & Testbeds for Networked Sensing Systems - Security for Networked Sensing Systems - Data Management for Networked Sensing Systems - Middleware for Networked Sensing Systems - Communication Protocols - Sensor Phenomena and Modeling - Sensors and Sensing Systems - Materials, Fabrication, and Packaging of Sensors

INSS 2008 invites the submission of both regular and short papers. Regular papers must be 4-8 pages long (two-column format) and include an abstract of 100-150 words. Short papers must be 2-4 pages long (two-column format) and include an abstract of 100-150 words. All papers should be formatted according to the "IEEE transactions" format. Short papers are suitable for interactive discussions; the presenters of accepted short papers are given short oral presentation times and poster space for discussions.

INSS 2008 is specifically seeking papers that are of interest to the interdisciplinary community represented at the conference. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of contribution, technical correctness, and presentation. Papers submitted must contain original, unpublished material and must not be under simultaneous review for any other conference, journal, workshop, or other publication. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and accessible online via IEEE Explorer. Authors are required to attend the conference to present their work.

See the web site at http://www.inss-conf.org/ for submission details.

Call for Industrial Contributions --------------------------------- This year, INSS offers an industry track. Industry papers are suitable for industry researchers to present not only technical, but also practical issues surrounding production, deployment, and commercialization of networked sensing technology. Industry papers must be 2-4 pages long (two-column format) and include an abstract of 100-150 words. All papers should be formatted according to the "IEEE transactions" format. The submitted industry papers will be reviewed by industry track TPC members. Accepted industry papers will be presented in the main conference's industry track session given full oral presentation times. The industrial track aims at providing a forum among practitioners, developers, and researchers to discuss practical issues including but not limited to:

- Designing networked sensing systems for commercial applications - Service models and architectures for successful deployments - Production engineering for networked sensing systems - Evaluation of networked sensing systems in practical applications

See the web site at http://www.inss-conf.org/ for submission details.
