DCOSS 2013 - 9th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems

The 9th IEEE International Conference on
Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (IEEE DCOSS)
Cambridge, Massachusetts
May 20 - 23, 2013
Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due to their potential for providing diverse new capabilities applications. The focus of IEEE DCOSS conference is on distributed computing issues in large scale networked sensor systems (including algorithms and applications, systems design techniques and tools, and in-network signal and information processing). The conference normally features three tracks on Algorithms, Systems, and a Signal Processing. A new “Track of the Year” is introduced that focuses on emerging topics in sensing. In DCOSS 2013, the focus topic is “Social Networks and Crowdsensing”. The proceedings will be published by the IEEE.
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on computational aspects of distributed sensor systems.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Social networks and crowdsensing
Sensors for Smart Grid systems, green networks and sustainability
Computation and programming models
Energy models, minimization, awareness
Distributed collaborative information processing
Detection and tracking
Theoretical performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability
Abstractions for modular design
Fault tolerance and security
Languages, operating systems
Task allocation, reprogramming and reconfiguration
Dynamic resource management
Scalable, heterogeneous architectures (node and system-level)
Middleware interfaces, communication and processing primitives
Design, simulation and optimization tools for deployment and operation
Design automation and application synthesis techniques
Closed-loop control for sensing and actuation
Case studies: lessons from real world deployments
Network coding and compression
