IPSN 2014 CALL FOR DEMOS AND POSTERS

The 13th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in
Sensor Networks (IPSN 2014) draws upon many disciplines including
networking, signal and image processing, information and coding  theory,
databases, information management, distributed algorithms,embedded systems,
wireless communications, and machine learning. In addition to full-length
technical papers, IPSN welcomes exciting demonstrations of novel sensor
network technology, applications, and hardware as well as posters showing
promising early work. IPSN seeks participation from both industry and
academia for demonstrations and posters.

Selection of demonstration and posters will be based on a short abstract,
evaluated based on technical merit and innovation as well as the potential
to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas at the
conference. Accepted abstracts will appear in the regular conference
proceedings. At least one author of every accepted demonstration or poster
abstract is required to register and attend the conference.

Demonstration abstracts should be at most 2 pages in length, and submitted
in PDF format by following the IPSN regular-paper formatting guidelines.
 Abstracts need not be anonymous. Please refer to the IPSN regular-paper
submission instructions for additional details. Poster abstracts should
follow the same format but should include a thumbnail of the planned poster
as a third page.

Due to the short interval between the notification of acceptance and the
camera-ready deadline, we strongly encourage authors to follow the
camera-ready formatting guidelines as close as possible even for the
initial abstract submission.

------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
------------------------------

Poster and demo submission deadline: January 24, 2014 (11.59 PM, US PDT)
Notification of acceptance: February 2, 2014
Camera-ready abstracts due: February 7, 2014

------------------------------
DEMOS
------------------------------

Demo abstracts should describe both the technology being showcased as well
as the user experience of the demo. Tables, power, and wireless
connectivity will be provided. If a demo requires additional special
arrangements, please describe them clearly in your submission using a
separate third page (not part of the technical content of the abstract).
 The authors of the accepted demos will be invited to submit an optional
short video together with the camera-ready version of the abstract. The
videos will be linked from the conference program on the IPSN 2014 home
page.  If you have any questions, please contact the demo co-chairs: Vlado
Handziski (handziski at tkn.tu-berlin.de) and Roozbeh Jafari (
rjafari at utdallas.edu).

------------------------------
POSTERS
------------------------------

Poster abstracts should report on research work where at least some
preliminary results are available, but they need not necessarily describe
completed work. An easel will be provided for all posters. If you have any
questions, please contact the poster co-chairs: Tommaso Melodia (
tmelodia at eng.buffalo.edu) and Andreas Willig (
andreas.willig at canterbury.ac.nz).

------------------------------
SUBMISSION OF POSTERS AND DEMOS
------------------------------

Submissions will be handled by the IPSN 2014 submission system, reachable
from the IPSN 2014 home page.


------------------------------
PHD FORUM - CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS
------------------------------

IPSN 2014 - the 13th ACM/IEEE Int. Conference on Information Processing in
Sensor Network (co-located with CPSWEEK 2014) - will host a PhD Forum on
Sensor Network Research. The Forum will provide an opportunity for PhD
students to present their dissertation research, including work in
progress, to the sensor network community and obtain individual feedback
from leading researchers in the field. The Forum will be structured as a
series of short presentations by the students, followed by individual
discussions, feedback, and advise. Participating students will also have
the opportunity to present a poster during the main conference to leverage
further interaction with CPSWEEK attendees.

Current PhD students in the early stages of their career are encouraged to
submit a 2-page extended abstract about their dissertation research in
sensor networking to be considered for the PhD Forum. The abstract shall
also include a one-paragraph bio of the student, along with information on
how long he/she has been in PhD school and the expected time until
graduation. The student should be the sole author, although contributions
of the advisor and others should be acknowledged. Submissions will be
reviewed by the PhD Forum committee to ensure quality, relevance, and
potential benefit from attendance to the Forum. Authors of accepted
submissions are expected to participate in person to the Forum and to
present a poster both at the Forum and at the main conference.

------------------------------
LOCATION
------------------------------

The PhD Forum is part of  IPSN 2014. Details about the location and the
rooms will be announced in due time.

------------------------------
SUBMISSIONS
------------------------------

Submissions must be received no later than submission deadline via the
EasyChair submission site. Topic scope is the same as that listed in the
IPSN call for papers. Submissions must be in PDF format, be written in
English, of no more than two pages in length (all inclusive), and adhere to
the IPSN formatting guidelines. The abstract should include the author's
name, affiliation, and email address.
