-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers First International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems (INSS 2004) University of Tokyo, Japan June 22-23, 2004 Sponsered by the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE) http://www.sice.or.jp/index-e.html (Cooperation with other organizations is also planned) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Development and spread of global networks and information terminals have brought about a social change. In addition, the progress of sensor technologies has enabled monitoring of various kinds of information. These technologies are combined with wireless communications and produce richer application spaces for monitoring and control: earth environment, habitation environment information, home appliances, industrial apparatus, human body information, medical treatment, and welfare apparatus. INSS 2004 is the first conference to form symbiosis of networking and sensing technologies. It provides a forum of cross-disciplinary discussions on networked sensing for researchers, engineers, and practioners in various fields. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for further exploration of selected topics and for the presentation of the most recent research and development findings in these rapidly changing fields. TOPICS We encourage contributions describing innovative work related to networked sensing. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Wireless sensor networks Operating systems and middleware for sensor networks RF-ID tags Nano/MEMS sensors and actuators Telemetry Ultra low power technologies for sensors and actuators Micro power source/supply sensors and actuators Ubiquitous and autonomic sensing Wearable sensing systems Distributed sensing systems Knowledge sharing in network environments Tag-Based vision Human Interface using sensors and actuators IPv6 applications for sensing Sensing Agents Networked robotics Sensor fusion Applications for networked sensing (e.g production/management, social systems, logistic systems, security/safety systems, medical and care systems, transportation systems, building/environmental automation) SUBMISSION The program committee will referee all papers and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. All paper submissions will be handled electronically through the conference Web site, which will be announced later. Submitted papers must be no more than 4 two-column pages long and must include an abstract of 100 - 150 words. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: March 20, 2004 Notification of acceptance: May 1, 2004 Camera ready papers: May 15, 2004 General Co-chairs Shigeru Ando, University of Tokyo, Japan Yoshito Tobe, Tokyo Denki University, Japan Program Co-chairs Satoshi Honda, Keio University, Japan Hideto Iwaoka, Yokogawa Electric, Japan -------------------------------------------------------------- CONTACT & INFORMATION Yoshito Tobe, Tokyo Denki University, Japan [log in to unmask]
