CALL FOR PAPERS The Sixth International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN’07)
April 25 - 27, 2007 – Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
The sixth International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN 2007) will continue the success of previous five symposia to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent work in sensor network research and applications. IPSN draws upon many disciplines including signal and image processing, information and coding theory, networking and protocols, distributed algorithms, wireless communications, machine learning, embedded systems design, and databases and information management.
To further foster the collaboration between theory and practice, this conference will feature two interleaving tracks: IPSN, focusing more on information processing algorithms,and SPOTS, focusing on platform tools and design methods for network embedded sensors. In addition, IPSN'07 will feature a competition; details for rules and participation will be announced in the IPSN'07 competition website http://www.cs.virginia.edu/%7Ewhitehouse/ipsn07competition/.
Topics covered in IPSN sessions include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Distributed & collaborative signal processing - Network protocols for sensor networks - Coding, compression & information theory - Distributed query processing - Detection, classification, estimation, tracking - Sensor tasking and control - Networked sensing and control - In-network processing and aggregation - Distributed control & actuation - Distributed inference & fusion - Fault tolerance - Network coverage, connectivity & longevity - Data storage in sensor networks - Location and time services - Energy and resource management - Programming models and languages - Real-time scheduling - Security - Application & demonstration of sensor networks
Topics covered in SPOTS sessions include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Embedded networked sensor system platforms, platform modeling and analysis tools - Architectural design, modeling and optimization tools for sensor nodes and networks - Sensor node components and interfaces, middleware and system services - Applications of embedded networked sensing with actual field deployments that highlight new themes in the design and operation of these complete systems.

Submission Guidelines:
All papers will be submitted electronically, in Portable Document Format (PDF). Instructions for submission will be available at IPSN'07 website: http://www.cse.wustl.edu/ipsn07.html.
Submission must meet the following criteria: - A paper must be original material that has not been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal. - Submitted papers should be no longer than 10 pages in ACM two- column format for conferences.
Each paper will be reviewed by the Technical Programming Committee. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings. Following the IPSN tradition, an accepted paper will be presented either in the single-track session, or in the poster session, depending on its content not its quality.
