OVERVIEW

We invite proposals for the workshop program of INSS 2012, the 9th International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems, to be held in Antwerp, Belgium.

During the past years, INSS has established itself as THE scientific event where academic and industrial experts from the areas of sensor systems, wireless networks, and sensor network applications come together. 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 academia 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.

Workshops will be typically full-day or half-day. The workshop organization will be also ready to accommodate very practical workshops including live demonstrations and experiments with networked sensing systems, and will do its best to provision an appropriate support infrastructure.

SUBMISSION

We solicit workshops in all areas related to networked sensing systems. In particular, we would like to encourage proposals for workshops that act as a melting pot for the research effort on novel and emerging topics. We encourage submissions by international teams of organizers and committees with experts from both academia and industry. Organizers are expected to be active themselves in the field in which they propose a workshop. All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail to the workshop chairs in pdf format.

The recommended length of the workshop proposal is 2 pages, and should include:

• Title of the workshop.
• Brief technical abstract of the workshop, identification of specific technical issues, focus, and justification of its timeliness and relevance.
• Longer description on the format, activities, goals and outcomes. Please indicate the planning of demos, posters, discussion groups, etc.
• A brief description of the review process.
• The names, affiliations and e-mail addresses of the proposed workshop organizing committee. This committee should consist of at least two people knowledgeable in the proposed topic.
• The names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses of a preliminary workshop program committee.
• Primary contact of the organizing committee.
• Estimated number of participants, length, and timetable of the workshop.
