日本データベース学会の皆様 直前のご案内になりますが，センサとネットワークに関する国際会議，INSSの登録期限が 1月9日に迫って参りました．様々な投稿形態がございますので，御投稿をご検討いただけ ましたら幸いです．どうぞよろしくお願い致します． 川島英之＠筑波大 [Our apologies if you receive multiple postings of this CFP] Paper Submissions Due: January 9th, 2009 ********************************************************************** Call For Papers Sixth International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems (INSS 2009) http://www.inss-conf.org/2009/ June 17 - 19, 2009 Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA Sponsor: Transducer Research Foundation Technical Sponsor: IEEE ********************************************************************** During the past years, the International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems (INSS) has established itself as THE scientific event where academic and industrial experts from the areas of sensor systems, wireless networks, and sensor network applications come together. The INSS provides a forum to hear about the latest developments in these areas, to exchange ideas, and to start up collaborations within these fields and between industry and academia. Call for Scientific Contributions --------------------------------- INSS 2009 is the sixth annual conference in the series, and features a highly selective technical program. We invite outstanding research papers from the field of sensor technology, wireless networking, or application of networked sensor systems. The conference especially encourages submissions that investigate research issues shared between all three areas. INSS 2009 invites the submission of regular, short, and industry papers. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of contribution, technical correctness, and presentation. Papers submitted must not be under simultaneous review for any other conference, journal, workshop, or other publication. All accepted papers will be published from the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE), and also from IEEE Explore. Regular/Short Paper Track --------------------------------- Regular papers must be 4-8 pages long (two-column format) and include an abstract of 100-150 words. Short papers must be 2-4 pages long (two-column format) and include an abstract of 100-150 words. All papers should be formatted according to the "IEEE transactions" format. Short papers are suitable for interactive discussions; the presenters of accepted short papers are given short oral presentation times. Topics of regular paper track include but are not limited to: * Applications of Networked Sensing Systems * Prototypes, Field Studies & Testbeds for Networked Sensing Systems * Safety and Security of Networked Sensing Systems * Data Management for Networked Sensing Systems * Middleware for Networked Sensing Systems * Communication Protocols * Sensor Phenomena and Modeling * Sensors and Sensing Systems * Materials, Fabrication, and Packaging of Sensors Industry Paper Track --------------------------------- INSS 2009 continues the industry track. Experts from industry are encouraged to publish their work at INSS 2009 and to have a lively exchange of their experiences with conference attendees. Industry papers are suitable for industry researchers to present not only technical, but also practical issues surrounding production, deployment, and commercialization of networked sensing technology. Industry papers must be 2-4 pages long (two-column format) and include an abstract of 100-150 words. All papers should be formatted according to the "IEEE transactions" format. The submitted industry papers will be reviewed by industry track TPC members. Accepted industry papers will be presented in the main conference's industry track session given full oral presentation times. The industry track aims at providing a forum among practitioners, developers, and researchers to discuss practical issues including but not limited to: * Designing networked sensing systems for commercial applications * Service models and architectures for successful deployments * Production engineering for networked sensing systems Evaluation of * Networked sensing systems in practical applications Important Dates --------------- Paper Registrations Due: January 9th, 2009 (IMPORTANT!)
