Background

IPSN is a leading, single-track, annual forum on sensor network research. IPSN brings together researchers from academia and practitioners from industry to present and discuss recent advances in both theoretical and experimental research. Its scope includes signal processing, embedded systems design, information theory, networking and protocols, systems architecture, distributed algorithms, wireless communications, machine learning, and databases and information management. The conference features two interleaving tracks, the Information Processing (IP) track, and the Sensor Platforms, Tools and Design Methods (SPOTS) track. We also encourage submissions on innovative applications of sensor network to real world problems.

IPSN is part of CPS Week, co-locating with conferences HSCC, ICCPS, IPSN, RTAS, and HiCoNS.
