Workshop on Sensor-Enabled Situational Awareness
In conjunction with
12th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking (ICDCN 2011)

Call for Papers:

Worshop Duration : 1 day.

Workshop format : Submitted papers,  Invited talks, Panel , Student papers.
   
Publication mode : Slides/papers on ICDCN web-site.

Page limit and other author instructions : 8 pages paper.  The workshop will award the most innovative student paper award.

List of Topics:

  • While the scope of the workshop encompasses all aspects of sensor-driven situational awareness, we specifically invite papers/contributions related to the following themes:
  • New sensing modalities - e.g., audio/video sensors, mobile phone based sensing, human sensors and social networking as information sources.
  • Novel applications of sensor enabled situational awareness.
  • Programming methodologies /abstractions that overcome complexities due to sensor heterogeneity, uncertainty, and errors in sensor data.
  • Modeling & understanding  observed environments.
  • Scalability and robustness of sensor driven systems that continuously monitor physical spaces.
  • Privacy challenges due to fine-grained sensor data capture.
  • Experiences in building sensor driven situational awareness

Paper Submission:

A submission should report on original, previously unpublished research that is not being concurrently considered elsewhere for publication in a journal or conference. A submission consists of up to 8 single-spaced pages using at least 11-point Times Roman font and one-inch margins on all sides on A4 or letter sized pages.
The page limit includes title page, references, figures, and tables. Extra material, such as additional experiments, proofs, and graphs, can be included in a clearly-marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the program committee. Submissions deviating from these guidelines will not be reviewed. 

Submissions must be entered online through Easychair following the submissions link:

Papers where the primary contributor is a student should clearly be marked as student papers -these will be considered for a student paper award. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the paper.
