SenSys 2010, the 8th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems, 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 sensor systems to include any distributed system that interacts with the physical world. We seek technical papers
describing original ideas, groundbreaking results and/or quantified system experiences.

* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
——————————————————————————
- Approaches to architecting sensor networks
- Experience with real-world deployments and applications
- Resource management and OS support for sensor systems
- Energy management and harvesting for long-term operation
- Wireless communication systems and protocols for sensor networks
- Sensor network measurement and characterization
- Programming paradigms and models for distributed sensing
- Sensor network debugging, fault-tolerance and reliability
- Sensing, actuation and control in cyber-physical systems
- Sensor systems leveraging mobile phones, RFIDs, robots, etc.
- Distributed sensor data storage, retrieval, processing and management
- Sensor data quality, integrity, and trustworthiness
- In-network data reduction, coding, inference, and signal processing
- Security and privacy in sensor networks
- Time and location management
- Social implications and human-sensor interactions
—————————————————————————–

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 and Abstract: April 1, 2010, 11:59 pm EST.
- Paper Submission Deadline: April 8, 2010, 11:59 pm EST.
- Notification of Paper Acceptance: July 20, 2010.

SenseApp 2010, the Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Practical Issues in Building Sensor Network Applications, will be a one-day workshop, held in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Comupter Networks (LCN 2010). The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general.

During the last decade, the continuous improvement and miniaturization of integrated circuits has led to new types of computing systems. An emerging trend is the collaboration of miniature devices to achieve a common goal. Representative examples include wireless sensor networks, pervasive computing and embedded systems.

Along this trend, the notion of Cooperating Objects collectively refers to embedded computing devices equipped with communication as well as sensing or actuation capabilities, able to cooperate and organize themselves autonomously into networks to achieve a common task. As such, Cooperating Objects envision a single, coherent system formed by a wide range of devices, including those from the areas mentioned above. The complexity germane to the interaction inside and across networks of Cooperating Objects presents a rich set of research questions, and entails a wide range of scientific disciplines, such as networking, software engineering, and control theory.

CONET 2010 will provide a discussion forum for researchers, aimed at fostering synergy and convergence of complementary areas towards the vision of networks of Cooperating Objects. Work-in-progress systems, provocative ideas, and position papers paving the road towards such synergy and convergence are particularly welcome.

The Sixth Workshop on Hot Topics in Embedded Networked Sensors (HotEmNets 2010) brings together wireless sensor network researchers from academic and industrial backgrounds to present groundbreaking results that will shed light on present and future research challenges. The workshop emphasizes results from experiments or deployments that quantify the challenges in the wireless sensor systems of today as well as early results from new ideas that introduce promising approaches that will define the challenges in the wireless sensor systems of tomorrow. We especially welcome papers reporting on results that refute common assumptions, deployment experiences, novel and original approaches, and, more generally, papers that will help inform and guide research.

Papers Due: February 22, 2010
Notification: April 15, 2010
Camera Ready: May 10, 2010
Conference: June 28-29, 2010

Topics to be discussed include: visual sensor networks for elderly care, tele-collaboration opportunities of sensor-based networks, bio-inspired motion detection, remote monitoring of land deformation, and the mobile phone as gateway in a body sensor network.

Creating distributed sensor network applications is a challenging and cumbersome task where multiple objectives need to be pursued simultaneously. Sensor network developers have to address not only the functional application requirements, but also have to cope with a number of difficult non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce resources including energy, from the need for self-organization and unattended operation, from the heterogeneity of sensor nodes, and from the unpredictability of the deployment environment.

The lack of appropriate software development methodologies and tools often leads to unstable and suboptimal implementations. Software engineering support is therefore sought that eases the development task and helps to produce optimized application software tailored to the specific application environment and sensor network conditions. Appropriate development support is needed for all phases of the application software lifecycle.

The aim of the SESENA workshop is to bring together the software engineering and sensor network communities (both academia and industry) to jointly address this challenge. The workshop goals are to provide a discussion forum on software development methodologies and tools for sensor network applications, and to establish a community that carries the discussion on even after the workshop. The workshop will feature an invited keynote talk, paper presentations, demonstrations of tools, as well as a working session.
