[ACT-R-users] IPSN 05 Call for Participatoin

[IPSN 05 Organizing Committee]

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
IEEE/ACM Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN)
Los Angeles, April 25-27, 2005

Early Registration Deadline: March 31, 2005

The IPSN 2005 conference has a strong technical program that represents
the diversity of this important multidisciplinary area. The papers span
information and signal processing theory, resource management, network
protocols, and systems issues. Moreover, this year for the first time IPSN
has an expanded scope in the form of the SPOTS track which focuses on
platform, tools, and application issues. This makes IPSN a unique forum
that brings together researchers from the conceptual and the practical
ends of sensor networking. The conference opens each day with key note
talks by well known international experts who collectively span theory vs.
application, academe vs. industry, and US vs. non-US activities in sensor
networking. The agenda includes oral sessions with 30 papers that address
aspects of energy and network lifetime issues, novel programming
paradigms, architectures for sensor data inference, modeling of real-life
wireless and sensing artifacts, secure and verifiable localization of
sensor nodes, information theoretic and signal processing considerations,
sensor selection, networked sensor platforms, design and management tools,
and applications. The 37 papers in the poster session cover a similar
diversity of topics. The demonstration session has 27 exciting
participants demonstrating new tools, platforms, applications, and
practical realizations of new algorithms and protocols, and is
significantly enhanced relative to previous years. In particular, this
year we have instituted a Best Demo award to encourage and reward research
efforts that seek to concretely realize theoretical ideas.
