CALL FOR PAPERS
Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due to their potential for providing diverse new capabilities. Such systems allow intelligent dense monitoring of physical environments. The focus of this conference is on distributed computing issues in largescale networked sensor systems (including algorithms, applications, systematic design techniques and tools, and in-network signal and information processing).
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on computational aspects of distributed sensor systems.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:
Machine-to-Machine
Sensors in Smart Grid Systems
Green Networks and Systems
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
