 The 9th ACM/IEEE Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks
                April 16-19, 2010, Stockholm, Sweden

          Abstract Registration Deadline: October 23rd, 2009

SCOPE:

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/2010/ 
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.
