The 18th
ACM/IEEE The International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor
Networks (IPSN)

===================================================================

April 16-18, 2019,
Montreal, Canada

IPSN'19 is part of
CPS-IoT Week 2019, co-located with HSCC, ICCPS, CPS-IoT, and
RTAS.

===================================================================

The International
Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) is a leading
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,
databases and information management, distributed algorithms, networks and
protocols, wireless communications, collaborative objects and the Internet of
Things, machine learning, mobile and social sensing, and embedded systems
design. Of special interest are contributions at the confluence of multiple of
these areas.

Like prior years,
IPSN 2019 will continue its co-location with CPS-IoT WEEK, the premier venue for
research and development of Cyberphysical Systems, and 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, modelling, implementation,
evaluation, deployment experiences, and tools for networked embedded sensor
systems and the Internet of Things. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:

- Sensor data
storage, retrieval, processing

- Streaming sensor
system tasking and operation

- Coding,
compression, and information theory

- 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

- Modeling,
simulation, and measurement tools

- Operating
systems and runtime environments

- 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

- Sensor-enabled
drone platforms and algorithms

In addition
to IPSN's traditional focus, IPSN 2019 will place a particular
emphasis on embedded machine learning and computer vision, with a special track
centered on these topics. In this case, topics of interest include but
are not limited to:

- Machine learning
and deep learning on sensor data

- New hardware and
system design to enable machine learning on sensor data

- Novel embedded
machine learning algorithms

- Data related
issues, such as methods, tools, and analysis

- Computer vision
for resource-constrained and mobile platforms

********Submission
Guidelines********

Papers must
be at most 12 pages, including figures, tables, and references. Papers must be
typeset using the 2017 ACM Master
article template. Detailed instructions are here. Please start with the
sample-sigconf.tex example. Authors must not alter any of the formatting aspects
defined in the template, such as layout, margins, or font sizes. In particular,
authors must use the default 9pt font size at the submission
stage.

These
formatting guidelines apply regardless of those in the previous years. Failure
to follow these guidelines, particularly the use of a different template or a
font size, will lead to immediate rejection.

Papers may
be submitted as single PDF files through this weblink.

For
submission of posters and demos, see the Posters/Demos
page.

********Anonymization and Plagiarism********
Paper
submissions are double-blind so authors must anonymize their submissions.
References to the authors' own previous work must not be omitted but referred to
in the third person so authors can consult existing references.

Authors must
guarantee that the manuscript has not been previously published or accepted for
publication (in any substantially similar form) in any conference, journal, or
other archived (e.g., in the ACM Digital Library or the IEEE Xplore) proceedings
of an earlier workshop. The authors must also guarantee that no paper that
contains significant overlap with their submission is under review for any other
conference or journal or archived proceedings of a workshop during the IPSN
review period.

Only exceptions to
these rules are workshops without archived proceedings, technical reports,
notes, public websites such as ArXiv, or blogs that are not peer-reviewed.
The information on where else the paper appears must, however, be provided on
the submission form; the PC chair will make this information available to the
reviewers if it becomes necessary to ensure a fair review. This policy will be
explicitly conveyed to the reviewers. If you are in doubt, please contact the PC
chairs for clarification before submitting your
paper.

Finally, please
also note that the ACM Plagiarism Policy covers a range of ethical issues
concerning the misrepresentation of other works or one's own work. Violation of
any of these conditions will lead to rejection.

********Response
Process********

As in previous
years, IPSN will also elicit a review and response process. After the initial
review, the program committee may request a short response from selected papers
for additional clarifications. The authors will get a short time window of
roughly 24 hours to respond. Participation in the response process is not
mandatory.

****Joint statement from IPSN and IoTDI****

The two
conferences are collaborating to create new synergies, also exploiting their
CPSWEEK bi-annual co-location. Prospective authors are thus strongly encouraged
to consider these guidelines:

- Contributions of
embedded nature and applying to network segments from the IoT gateway to field
devices should be submitted to IPSN. Examples include localization, low-power
wireless networking, and embedded data processing.

- Contributions
with an end-to-end perspective or applying to network segments from the IoT
gateway to the cloud should be submitted to IoTDI. Examples include cloud
data processing, edge computing, and systems covering multiple network
segments.

The TPC chairs of
both conferences may agree to move a submitted paper from one to the other if
they see a better fit, subject to the authors’ consent. The final decision
about where to submit, and therefore what program committee will review the
work, ultimately rests with the authors.
