SCOPE
Distributed sensor systems today are increasingly ubiquitous, producing information-rich massive data about the physical world. Due to the potential of impacting an entire host of application areas, distributed sensor systems have become a highly visible research area. The International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS) focuses on distributed computing issues in networked sensor systems (including, but not limited to, algorithms and applications, systems design techniques and tools, and in-network signal and information processing). The conference normally features three tracks on Systems and Applications, Algorithms and Protocols, and Signal and Information Processing.
Potential authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate recent advances in both theoretical and experimental research. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following aspects:
˙ Computation and programming models from sensor to cloud
˙ Energy models, minimization, awareness
˙ Sensor data storage, retrieval, and processing
˙ Distributed collaborative information processing
˙ Machine learning techniques for sensor data analytics
˙ Abstractions for modular design
˙ Communication and networking primitives and protocols
˙ Task allocation, reprogramming, and reconfiguration
˙ Sensor network management, diagnosis, and fault tolerance
˙ Security and privacy issues
˙ Approaches, tools, and experience of deployment and operation
˙ Closed-loop control for sensing and actuation
˙ Performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability
˙ Mobile and human-centered sensing
˙ Sensing for the Internet of Things
˙ Crowd sensing and social sensing techniques, applications, and systems
˙ Sensing for smart grid systems, green networks, and sustainability
In addition to DCOSS?s traditional focus, DCOSS 2018 will include a ?track of the year?: Massive Sensing for the Industrial IoT. Topics of interests include but are not limited to:
˙ Dependable, safe, secure networked sensing and control
˙ Cloud-based big sensor data management
˙ Real-time sensor data analytics
˙ Data intensive applications and algorithms, e.g. VR/AR for industry
˙ Industrial diagnosis and fault analysis based on sensing systems
˙ Networking and communication in the industrial environments
˙ Location and time management for industrial processes
˙ Heterogeneity and interoperability of sensor systems
˙ Service description and discovery
˙ Digital twins and simulation of physical processes
˙ Industrial applications such as predictive maintenance, smart factories, smart products, ...
PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on distributed sensor systems related to DCOSS topics of interest. Papers must be submitted electronically via HotCRP system: https://dcoss18.hotcrp.com/.
All submissions should be written in English with a maximum of eight (8) printed pages including figures. Authors may add at most two (2) pages, but only for an appendix, i.e. these two pages contain supplementary material only. The additional two pages will incur overlength charges at $100/page.
Please read http://www.dcoss.org/submission.html for more details.
