                               Call for Papers
                                   IPSN'09
    The 8th ACM/IEEE Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks
                 April 13-16, 2009, San Francisco, USA
                             http://ipsn.acm.org

                               Co-located with
       IEEE Real Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium
     (RTAS '09) and International Conference on Hybrid Systems: Computation
                          and Control (HSCC '09)

The International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor
Networks (IPSN) is a leading, single-track, annual forum on sensor
network research. IPSN brings together researchers from academia,
industry, and government to present and discuss recent advances in
both theoretical and experimental research. Its scope includes 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. The two tracks have 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
program chairs with questions or clarifications.

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

  - Applications and deployment experiences
  - Coding, compression and information theory
  - Data processing, storage and management
  - Detection, classification, and tracking
  - Distributed algorithms and reasoning
  - Distributed and collaborative signal processing
  - Fault tolerance and identification
  - Fundamental bounds and formulations
  - Location, time, and other network services
  - Operating systems and runtime environments
  - Network health monitoring and management
  - Network protocols
  - Programming models and languages
  - Security
  - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation
  - Simulation

The Sensor Platforms, Tools, and Design Methods (SPOTS) track focuses
on networked embedded sensor platforms and tools. Submissions are
expected to refer to specific hardware, software, and implementations.
The SPOTS track focuses 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, while
details on the platforms and tools used in the deployment should be
submitted to SPOTS. Topics covered in the SPOTS track include, but
are not limited to:

  - Case studies that describe experiences, highlight challenges, and
    study/compare the performance of platforms and tools
  - Novel sensor network components, device platforms and architectures
  - Embedded software for sensor networks
  - Design tools and methodologies for sensor networks
  - System modeling, simulation, measurements, and analysis

               -------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ---------

All papers must be submitted electronically, in Portable Document
Format (PDF). Instructions for submission will be available at the
IPSN'08 website: http://ipsn.acm.org/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, and
  - Submitted papers should be no longer than 12 pages in ACM 10-point,
    two-column conference format.

The program committee of each track is independently responsible for
reviewing its papers, and all accepted papers will appear in the
conference proceedings. Unlike previous IPSN conferences, all
accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference. There
will be a separate call for posters.

  - Abstract Due: October 15, 2008
  - Paper Due: October 22, 2008
  - Conference: April 13-16, 2009
