The 7th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys’09) solicits innovative research papers on the systems issues of networked, embedded sensing and control. The conference brings together academic, industry, and government professionals to a premier single-track, highly selective forum on the design, implementation, and application of sensor networks.
SenSys takes a broad view of embedded networked sensor systems to
include any distributed systems that collectively interact with the
physical world. We invite submissions covering a broad range of
networked sensing systems including conventional wireless sensor
networks as well as novel platforms such as mobile sensors, cellphones,
and domain-specific systems.
We seek technical papers describing original ideas, groundbreaking
results and/or quantified system experiences. We especially encourage
submissions that highlight real-world sensor network deployments, new
application domains, and retrospectives on the state-of-the-art.
Topics of interest:
– System and network architecture;
– Operating systems;
– Services for time, location, and power management;
– Reliability and fault tolerance;
– Protocols at all layers (physical, link, network, and above);
– Programming models and languages;
– Data storage, retrieval, and processing;
– System security and data integrity;
– Novel applications and real-world deployments;
– Actuation and control; and
– Privacy and social implications.
Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, relevance,
interest, correctness, and clarity. A good paper will:
– Consider a significant problem;
– Propose an interesting, compelling solution;
– Demonstrate the practicality and benefits of the solution;
– Draw appropriate conclusions;
– Clearly describe what the authors have done; and
– Clearly articulate the advances beyond previous work.
Submissions will be subject to rigorous peer review and the top quality
papers will be published in the conference proceedings. All published
papers will be presented orally at the conference.
Submission:
Submissions must be full papers, at most 14 single-spaced 8.5″ x 11″
pages, including figures, tables, and references, two-column format,
using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading, with a maximum
text block of 7″ wide x 9″ deep with .25″ intercolumn space. Papers that
do not meet the size and formatting requirements will not be reviewed.
Key dates:
– Paper Registration: April 1, 2009, 11:59 pm Eastern Time
– Paper Submission Deadline: April 8, 2009, 11:59 pm Eastern Time
– Notification of Acceptance: July 20, 2009
These are “hard deadlines” – no extensions will be granted.
