IPSN 2016 - 15th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks

The International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks
(IPSN)
is a leading annual forum on research in networked sensing and control,
broadly
defined. IPSN brings together researchers from academia, industry, and
government
to present and discuss recent advances in both theoretical and
experimental research.
Its scope includes signal and image processing, information and coding
theory,
databases and information management, distributed algorithms, networks and
protocols, wireless communications, collaborative objects and the Internet
of Things,
machine learning, mobile and social sensing, and embedded systems design.
Of special interest are contributions at the confluence of a multiple of
these areas.
New: In addition to IPSN's traditional focus areas, IPSN 2016 is
inaugurating a new
track on the Internet of Things (IoT). The entire program committee is
eligible to
review any submitted paper, but in order to aid in reviewer selection,
authors are
encouraged to indicate in the submission site whether their submissions
are related
to the IoT track.
Like previous years, IPSN 2016 will continue its focus on algorithms,
theory, and
systems for information processing using networks of embedded,
human-in-the-loop,
or social sensors, as well as new hardware and software architectures,
modeling,
evaluation, deployment experiences, design methods, implementations, and
tools for
networked embedded sensor systems. Topics covered include, but are not
limited to:
? Sensor data storage, retrieval, processing and machine learning
? Coding, compression and information theory
? Sensor tasking, control, decision making and actuation
? Theoretical foundation and fundamental bounds
? Network and system architectures and protocols
? Location, time, and other network services
? Programming models and languages and embedded software
? Modeling, simulation, measurement, and analysis tools
? Operating systems and runtime environments
? User interfaces for sensing applications and systems
? Innovative platforms and architectures, including cloud, mobile,
participatory and social sensing
? Compelling applications ranging from wellbeing and health monitoring to
environmental and urban (e.g. traffic / building) sensing, highlighting
experiences, challenges, and comparisons of platforms and tools
IoT Track: This new track focuses on the unique aspects of creating novel
applications
and services that integrate embedded, mobile, and cloud resources in the
context of
physical spaces, machines, and other interconnected Things. Topics covered
include,
but are not limited to:
? Programming models for ensembles of interconnected Things
? Discovery, Coordination and Usability of Things and Services in IoT
? Trust, Security, Privacy, and Authentication in IoT
? Network, System, Device, and Service Architectures for IoT
? Dependability, adaptation, intermittency, and assembly in IoT
? Technical Assessment of emerging IoT standards
