OVERVIEW

The workshop Co-Chair invite proposals for the workshop program of the
8th International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems held in
Penghu, Taiwan.

Workshops provide a lively forum for experts from academia and
industry to discuss and explore specific topics of networked sensing
systems. The topics may focus on any aspect of the research field: new
and emerging research directions, novel and highly innovative themes,
real-world topics including industrial deployments and applications,
and interdisciplinary themes. The goal of the workshops is to share
insights and experiences, to foster research communities and to
fertilize collaborations between the experts from both science and
industry. Workshops are a unique platform for opportunities to extend
topics beyond the scope of the main conference and to pave the roads
for future directions in order to facilitate the accelerating progress
in networked sensing systems.
