The workshop Co-Chair invite proposals for the workshop program of the Seventh International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems held in Kassel, Germany.

Workshops provide a lively forum for experts from academia and industry to discuss and explore specific topics of networked sensing systems. The topics may focus on any aspect of the research field: new and emerging research directions, novel and highly innovative themes, real-world topics including industrial deployments and applications, and interdisciplinary themes. The goal of the workshops is to share insights and experiences, to foster research communities and to fertilize collaborations between the experts from both science and industry. Workshops are a unique platform for opportunities to extend topics beyond the scope of the main conference and to pave the roads for future directions in order to facilitate the accelerating progress in networked sensing systems.
