The International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) is a leading, single-track, annual forum on research in networked sensing and control, broadly defined. 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, collaborative objects and the Internet of Things, machine learning, mobile and social sensing, and embedded systems design. Of special interest are contributions at the confluence of a multiple of these areas.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Measures taken by authors to facilitate replication, verification and comparison of their work by other researchers (such as providing additional technical details, proofs, datasets, source code, etc.) will be an explicit review criterion at IPSN 2015. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">In addition to regular research papers, in IPSN 2015, we also encourage submissions of Challenge Papers that lay out visions and future challenges in the field of information processing in sensor networks. Challenge papers are up to 6 page long and the title should start with "Challenge:" These submissions are reviewed based on the novelty of the concepts and potential of impacting the field.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">The conference features two submission focus areas: one on Information Processing (IP), and one on Sensor Platforms, Tools and Design Methods (SPOTS). The entire program committee is eligible to review both focus areas, but authors are encouraged to make indications in the submission site accordingly to aid in reviewer selection. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">The IP area focuses on algorithms, theory, and systems for information processing using networks of embedded, human-in-the-loop, or social sensors.
