*The 16th International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor 
Networks (IPSN'17)*
http://ipsn.acm.org/2017/
In Conjunction with CPSWeek (https://cpsweek2017.ece.cmu.edu/)
April 18-21, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

The 16th International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor 
Networks (IPSN'17) is a leading, single-track, annual forum on research 
in networked sensing and control, broadly defined. IPSN brings together 
researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and 
discuss recent advances in both theoretical and experimental research. 
Its scope includes signal and image processing, information and coding 
theory, data management, distributed algorithms, networks and protocols, 
Internet of Things, mobile and social sensing, and embedded system 
design and implementation. Of special interest are contributions at the 
confluence of a multiple of these areas. New this year, IPSN will have 
joint panel and/or technical sessions with the IEEE International 
Conference on Internet-of-Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI'17) to 
increase cross-pollination of ideas among the attendees.

Like prior years, IPSN'17 will continue its strong focus on algorithms, 
theory, and systems for information processing using networks of 
embedded, human-in-the-loop, or social sensors, as well as new hardware 
and software platforms, design methods, architectures, modeling, 
implementation, evaluation, deployment experiences, and tools for 
networked embedded sensor systems and the Internet of Things.

*Topics covered include, but are not limited to:*
* Sensor data storage, retrieval, processing
* Streaming sensor system tasking and operation
* Coding, compression, and information theory
* Machine learning and deep learning on sensor data
* Sensor tasking, control, and actuation
* Theoretical foundation and fundamental bounds
* Network and system architectures and protocols
* IoT gateway platform architecture and services
* Outdoor, wide-area sensing systems
* Location, time, and other network services
* Programming models, languages, and systems
* Programming models for IoT ensembles
* Embedded systems software frameworks
* Modeling, simulation, and measurement tools
* Operating systems and runtime environments
* User interfaces for sensing apps and systems
* Cloud, mobile, participatory, and social sensing
* Applications in health, wellness & sustainability
* Applications in smart cities and urban health
* Experiences, challenges, comparisons of platforms
* Discovery, coordination, and use of IoT services
* Security and privacy in heterogeneous systems
* IoT reliability, adaptability, and dependability
* Technical assessment of emerging IoT standards
* Wearable systems and data processing algorithms
* Evaluation/deployment of industrial sensor systems
* Sensor-enabled drone platforms and algorithms
