<div>Call for Papers</div>
<div>The Ninth International Conference of Networked Sensing Systems (INSS 2012)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Antwerp, Belgium, June 11-14, 2012</div>
<div>Submission Deadline: December 24, 2011</div>
<div>http://www.inss-conf.org/2012</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Scope and Theme:</div>
<div>---------------</div>
<div>During the past years, the International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems (INSS) has established itself as a scientific event where academic and industrial experts from the areas of next generation sensor systems, sensor network applications, and
measurement and control engineering 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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>INSS 2012 is the ninth 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 applications of networked sensor systems. The
conference especially encourages submissions that investigate research issues shared between all the three areas.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>INSS 2012 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 at IEEE Xplore digital library. Authors are required to attend the conference to present their work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regular/Short Paper Track</div>
<div>-------------------------</div>
<div>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. Presentation time of accepted regular and short papers is decided on acceptance notification. Topics of regular/short paper track include but are not limited to:</div>

</div>
<div>Industry Paper Track</div>
<div>--------------------</div>
<div>INSS also offers an industry track. In this track, new and interesting developments in networks for industrial applications can be recognized, whether in the area of sensor systems, wireless networks, industrial network applications, networks for safety
related systems and applications, different security aspects in networks fault tolerant and redundant networks and many others. This session focuses on innovative, new and interesting network applications and research results for industries or developments
which will be important in the near future. The industry track intends to provide discussion for practitioners, developers, and researchers in order to examine practical issues.?Industry papers are suitable for industry researchers to present not only technical,
but also practical issues surrounding production, deployment, and commercialisation of networked sensing technology. Industry papers must be 2-4 pages long (two-column format) and include an abstract of 100-150 words. Papers should be formatted according to
the IEEE transactions format. The submitted industry papers will be reviewed by industry track TPC members and accepted papers will be presented in the main conference's industry track session. The industry track aims at providing a forum among practitioners,
developers, and researchers to discuss practical issues including but not limited to:</div>
<div>o<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Designing networked sensing systems for commercial applications</div>
<div>o<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Service models and architectures for successful deployments</div>
