The ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2017) is
a computer systems conference focused on the architecture, design,
implementation, and performance of sensors, broadly defined, as well as
sensor-enabled smart systems. ACM SenSys brings together academic,
industry, and government professionals to a single-track, highly
selective forum on networked sensing design, implementation, and
applications. It is the premier forum to discuss systems issues that
arise specifically due to sensing. SenSys takes a broad view on the
areas of computing that are relevant to the future of sensor systems,
and topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
New platforms and hardware designs for sensor-enabled systems
Systems software, including operating systems and network stacks
Low power operation, energy harvesting, and energy management
Applications and deployment experiences
Protocols for sensing devices and their connection to the Internet
Mobile and pervasive systems, including personal wearable devices and robots
Sensing, actuation, and control
Key system services such as time and location estimation
Data management, including quality, integrity and trustworthiness
Learning, adaptation and autonomy in cyber physical systems
Fault-tolerance and reliability
Heterogeneous multi-agent sensing, including human-robot sensor systems
Security and privacy of sensor-enabled computer systems
We invite technical papers describing original ideas,
ground-breaking results, and/or real-world experiences involving
innovative sensor systems. Successful submissions will explain why the
topic is relevant to a vision of the future of sensing systems.
Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, clarity,
relevance, and correctness. In addition to citing relevant, published
work, authors must cite and relate their submissions to relevant prior
publications of the their own. Ethical approval for experiments with
human subjects should be demonstrated as part of the submission.
In addition to regular papers around the topics above, ACM SenSys
this year solicits new directions papers discussing the future of
sensor-enabled computer systems. New direction papers shall present a
compelling vision of the field five years from now, discuss what current
or foreseeable technologies hold the highest potential within this time
frame, and argue on what are the key research problems the community
needs to tackle right now to eventually realize this vision. New
direction papers will be reviewed separately by the SenSyssteering
committee. Accepted papers will be part of the proceedings, alongside
regular paper, and their authors will be invited to a panel session,
together with leading experts, to share their vision."New directions"
papers are required to follow the same submission guidelines, but be
limited to 6 pages everything included.
