SenSys provides a cross-disciplinary venue for researchers addressing the rich space of networked sensor system design issues to interact, present and exchange research results, and demonstrate their work in a hands-on research exhibition. We seek technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results. This year conference will be held on the campus of the University of Rome "La Sapienza" and is highlighted by: * A keynote address by Shahram Izadi of Microsoft Research on the use of sensing in the next generation of user interfaces. * A main technical program of 21 peer-reviewed papers on topics such as crowdsourced sensing, energy efficiency, mobile-phone sensing, and wireless communication. * Three workshops (BuildSys, ENSSys, and SenseMine) focusing on works on emerging topics in the SenSys research community. * A Doctoral Colloquium for PhD students to present and receive feedback on in-progress research.

BuildSys provides a cross-disciplinary venue for computer scientist, behavioral scientist and building science researchers addressing the rich space of networked sensor system design issues to interact, present and exchange research results, and demonstrate their work in a hands-on research exhibition. We seek technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results. The workshop is co-located with SenSys 2013 and it will be held on the campus of the University of Rome "La Sapienza" and is highlighted by: * An expanded 1.5 days workshop due to the increased demand and high quality submissions. * A keynote address by Tariq Samad of Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions on the automation and control solutions for energy-efficient buildings. * A main technical program of 22 peer-reviewed papers on topics such as crowdsourced sensing and actuation, building energy efficiency, user comfort and control, demand-response, building operating systems, water usage sensing and control, and wireless communication among others. * A demo and poster session, including 1-minute madness oral presentation of the work to be presented in the demo and poster sessions.

The one-day workshop will take place on 14 November in Rome, Italy. ENSSys will bring together researchers to systematically explore the challenges, issues and opportunities in the research, design, and engineering of energy-harvesting and energy-neutral sensing systems. These are a technological cornerstone for future applications in smart energy, future transportation, environmental monitoring and smart cities. Innovative solutions in on-board hardware for energy scavenging, energy adaptive algorithms, and power management policies are the ultimate frontiers, opening the door to unlimited and uninterrupted operation. **Workshop General Co-Chairs** Davide Brunelli, University of Trento, Italy Geoff Merrett, University of Southampton, UK **Technical Programme Committee** Pai Chou, Uni.

Commercial, government organizations, and individuals depend on the ability to automatically mine data from different types of sensor platforms (from large sensor networks to an individual's smartphone) in order to monitor, alert, learn from, and in some cases affect and control our surroundings. The research involved in developing applications for these classes of problems lies at the intersection of several diverse disciplines, including sensing systems, signal processing, machine learning and data mining, data management, and large-scale distributed systems - for both online as well as offline analysis. In this workshop, colocated with AMC SenSys 2013, we will include state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions in the area of extracting knowledge, by mining data from sensor networks in large-scale settings. The goal of the workshop is to establish a new research community and a venue for researchers, practitioners, and academics to present their results in these disciplines. We expect this workshop to be a long-term, continued venue for this research community, and to also lead to the setup of appropriate special issues and journals.
