> Third International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems (INSS  
> 2006)
>
> INSS 2006 provides a unique and interactive environment to bring
> together researchers from the backgrounds of sensor technology,  
> wireless
> networking and application of wireless sensor networking. This
> conference is the first after a series of annual workshop meetings  
> with
> a highly selective single-track technical program. Its aim is to  
> provide
> a platform where researchers from academia and industry come  
> together to
> discuss and address technical problems and solutions in these research
> areas.
>
> We see that rapid technology advancements in miniature sensors, low
> power micro- electronics, wireless communication and network have
> brought researchers from various fields to develop an emerging
> multidisciplinary of networked sensor systems and applications. Such
> technology is expected to change the way how information is generated,
> processed, and communicated based on a large number of sensor nodes
> deployed for a specific application.
>
> Addressing these critical issues requires researchers from various
> disciplines to communicate effectively and collaborate together. The
> International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems invites
> outstanding research papers from the field of sensor technology,
> wireless networking or application of networked sensor systems. The
> conference especially encourages submissions that are suitable and
> should be of interest for the researchers from all three fields.
>
> June is a busy time in Chicago in the sensors world.  Following INSS
> 2006 is the Sensors Expo & Conference, June 6-8, 2006. Sensors Expo  
> is a
> leading sensors event in North America, featuring a conference program
> exploring the most up-to-date innovations in sensor technology  
> including
> physical sensors, sensor networks, biosensors, MEMS/Nanotechnology,
> instrumentation and controls, intelligent systems, machine-to-machine
> communication, wireless sensing and IT technology.  Combined with a
> showcase of hundred of products and services, it is an event worth
> placing on your schedule. Please visit our web-site for the link to
> Sensors Expo 2006.  INSS 2006 attendees will receive a registration
> discount to Sensors Expo 2006.
>
> Topics include but are not limited to:
> 1. Sensors Materials and Fabrication (new materials, smart structures,
> MEMS and Nano fabrication technologies, sensors and sensor system
> packaging)
> 2. Sensor Phenomena and Modeling (sensor operation theory,
> characterization, CAD design and modeling)
> 3. Sensors (physical, mechanical, chemical, biological, optical  
> sensors
> and actuators at micro and nano scales)
> 4. Sensing Systems (wireless sensor system architecture, sensor-based
> system-on-chip design, multiple-sensor array and system, intelligent
> sensing, integration of sensors and microelectronics, low power sensor
> interface electronics design, sensor system packaging and  
> environmental
> compatibility, environmental energy harvesting, sensor system design
> trade-offs and techniques, bio-implantable sensor networks, data
> acquisition, telemetry, wakeup radio, system integration, process and
> cost of manufacturing, energy scavenging and RF-ID tags)
> 5. Communication protocols (MAC and link layer problems, routing and
> transport protocols tailored for networked sensor system, redundancy,
> data aggregation, and mobility support; gateways to fixed Internet)
> 6. Middleware (Configuration and installation support, service
> discovery, distributed algorithms in WSN, harmonizing node-centric and
> data-centric addressing, sensor calibration, localization and
> synchronization)
> 7. Security (primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols,  
> secure
> system engineering)
> 8. Applications (wireless environmental monitoring, harsh environment
> sensing, transportation, automotive, aeronautical and space sensor
> systems, bio-robotics sensing and communication, homeland security,
> military, civil and industrial infra-structures safety, intelligent
> biomedical and improved healthcare system, ubiquitous computing with
> networked sensing)
> 9. Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds (novel sensor node
> prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds)

> PAPER SUBMISSION
> INSS 2006 invites the submission of both regular and late-breaking
> result papers.
> Regular papers must be 4-8-page two-column papers long and include an
> abstract of 100 - 150 words. Late-breaking result papers must be no  
> more
> than 4 two-column pages long and include an abstract of 100-150 words.
>
> INSS 2006 is seeking papers interesting to the interdisciplinary
> community represented at the conference. Papers will be evaluated  
> on the
> basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field,
> technical correctness and presentation. Papers will be peer-reviewed.
> Papers submitted must not be under simultaneous review for any other
> conference, journal, workshop or other publication.
>
> Papers should be formatted according to IEEE transaction format
> (http://www.ieee.org/organizations/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.htm).
>
> Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings.  
> Authors
> are required to attend the conference to present their work. All paper
> submissions will be handled electronically by the EDAS system. Note  
> that
> submission is a two-stage process - authors need to register their  
> paper
> first and then submit the final manuscript. Submissions must be in  
> Adobe
> PDF format and conform to the guidelines specified in the call for  
> papers.
>
> Authors without EDAS user names will be required to register with the
> system using the same link as above. Reviewers will be instructed to
> maintain the confidentiality of all materials for submitted papers
> throughout the entire reviewing process. Submissions should contain no
> information that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of
> publication.
