Update
The International Conference on Information
Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) brings together researchers from
academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent work in
the emerging field of wireless sensor networks. IPSN draws upon many
disciplines including signal and image processing, information and
coding theory, networking and protocols, distributed algorithms,
wireless communications, machine learning, embedded systems design, and
databases and information management.
To further foster the collaboration between
theory and system researchers, this conference will feature two interleaving tracks:
-
IPSN,
focusing on information processing algorithms.
-
SPOTS,
focusing on platform tools and design methods for network embedded sensors.
IPSN will also host
the following exciting events:

Paper Submission
Follow this
link to register and submit a paper to the IPSN track. Note:
This link is for the IPSN track only.
Follow this
link to register and submit a paper to the SPOTS track. Note:
This link is for the SPOTS track only.
Templates
for formatting submissions
A paper must be original material that has
not been previously published nor is currently under review by another
conference or journal. Submitted papers should be no longer than 10 pages in
ACM two-column format for conferences (see the template above). Note that the font size for submission should be
9pt. Papers that do
not meet the requirements on size and format will not be reviewed. Authors
should include their names on their paper submissions and do not need to
obscure references to their existing work.
Using the default ACM style may produce
papers in A4 (not US Letter) format. The problem happens with pdflatex not
with latex. It can be fixed it by following the direction of the link
http://www.physics.wm.edu/~norman/latexhints/pdf_papersize.html.
The key changes are as follows.
When compiling a document using pdflatex (under the default installation of
teTeX) the paper size (page size) may be set incorrectly if calls to the
Vmargin or Vpage packages are used. To correct this you should perform the
following modification: In pdftex.cfg ($TEXBASE/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg)
remove or modify the lines:
page_width 210 true mm
page_height 297 true mm
So that they correspond to your desired default page size. An example entry
for letter sized paper would read:
page_width 8.5 true in
page_height 11.0 true in
