                                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.
