International Conference on

Information Processing in Sensor Networks

April 22-24, 2008, St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Co-located with IEEE Real Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS '08) and

International Conference on Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control (HSCC '08)

 


Update

 


The International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) is a leading, single-track, annual forum that brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent advances in sensor network research and applications. The conference covers both theoretical and experimental research, as it pertains to sensor networks, in a broad range of disciplines including signal and image processing, information and coding theory, databases and information management, distributed algorithms, networks and protocols, wireless communications, machine learning, and embedded systems design.

The conference features two interleaved tracks, the Information Processing (IP) track, and the Sensor Platforms, Tools and Design Methods (SPOTS) track, with two separate program committees to evaluate their submissions. Authors should carefully review the intended foci of these two tracks to decide which track is better suited for their work, and they are encouraged to contact the cognizant program chairs with questions or clarifications.

The Information Processing (IP) track will focus on algorithms, systems, and theory pertaining to information processing using networks of embedded sensors. Topics covered in this track include, but are not limited to:

  • Applications of sensor networks
  • Coding, compression and information theory
  • Data processing, storage and management
  • Detection, classification, estimation, tracking
  • Distributed algorithms and reasoning
  • Fault tolerance
  • Design exploration and optimization tools
  • Location and time services
  • Operating systems
  • Network health monitoring
  • Network protocols for sensor networks
  • Programming models and languages
  • Real-time scheduling
  • Security
  • Sensor tasking, control, and actuation

The Sensor Platforms, Tools, and Design Methods (SPOTS) track will focus on platforms and tools designed for networked embedded sensors. Submission should refer to specific hardware, software, and system design and implementation, focusing on new architectures, modeling, evaluation, design methods, implementations, tools, or deployment experiences. Results focused on the analysis and processing aspects of data collected from deployments should be submitted to the IP track. Topics covered in the SPOTS track include, but are not limited to:

  • Case studies that highlight challenges in and advantages of platforms, designs, operations, and tools
  • Embedded software for sensor networks
  • Design exploration and optimization tools
  • Sensor network components and device platforms
  • System design and implementation
  • System modeling, simulation, measurements, and analysis

Call for paper.


Paper Submission

All papers must be submitted electronically, in Portable Document Format (PDF). Please see The Author's Final Paper Formatting and Submission Instructions (Online Author Kit) for preparing for the camera-ready version of papers accepted to IPSN 2008.

Submissions must meet the following criteria:

  • A paper must be original material that has neither been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal.

Each paper will be reviewed by the TPC of the track to which it is submitted, and all accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings. Following the tradition of previous IPSN conferences, an accepted paper will be allocated either an oral presentation slot or a poster presentation outlet together with a brief oral advertisement slot. The choice of the presentation style is determined entirely by the nature of results, and not by their quality.

Formatting guidelines:

Submissions are required to be IEEE format and conform to the IEEE Conference Submission Guidelines, described in this PDF. IEEE provides LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates. If you choose to use another word processing system, it is your responsibility to ensure it conforms to the specifications.

The maximum submission length is 12 pages. Submission must be in US Letter format and as PDF files.

All submissions (to either the IP or SPOTS tracks) are being handled through the Microsoft CMT web site: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/Ipsn2008.


Conference Registration

The IPSN Conference Registration Web Site is available now.  Please select the IPSN Conference as this choice appears in the registration process.

Art Museum Reception Monday Evening

We are pleased to invite all registered attendees of the CPS Week workshops and conferences to a reception at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum on the Danforth Campus of Washington University in St. Louis, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm on Monday April 21, 2008.

Thanks to sponsorship by the School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis and the Center for Hybrid and Embedded Software Systems (CHESS) at UC Berkeley, the reception will feature drinks and appetizers as well as a chance to walk through the museum's collection and to interact with your colleagues.

To get to (and from) the reception, walk from the Renaissance Grand Hotel to the Convention Center Station of the Metrolink light rail system and please make sure to take a Westbound train bound for Shrewsbury (not for the airport) to the Skinker Station (on the way back you can take any Eastbound train) and walk to the art museum.


Hotel Information

IPSN and the CPSWeek Conferences will be held in the Renaissance Grand Hotel in St. Louis, MO, USA, from April 22-24, 2008. Please check out the hotel registration website for more information.

 

IPSN has reserved a block of rooms in the conference hotel at a reduced rate ($169/night +Tax). To make a reservation, follow this link: Hotel Reservation for IPSN 2008.

 

1.       Please ensure that the IPSN "Group Code" ieeieea appears in the corresponding window;

2.       If calling in (1-800-397-1282) to make your reservation, make sure you mention the abovementioned IPSN Group Code.

3.       CPSWEEK (including RTAS, IPSN and HSCC) will be preceded by a set of one-day Workshops on April 21. If you plan to attend any of these workshops, make sure this is reflected in the hotel reservation dates. For a complete list of workshops, and more information on the topic, please see the CPSWEEK site.


Directions

To get to hotel from the airport on our light rail system, please take any Metrolink train from the airport to the Convention Center Station, and then walk a short distance from there to the Renaissance Grand Hotel.
