~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Following the success of the first two Workshops
(www.parc.com/events/ipsn03), the 3rd International Symposium on
Information Processing in Sensor Networks will bring together
researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and
discuss recent work in this emerging field.

Driven by advances in MEMS micro-sensors, wireless networking, and
embedded processing, ad-hoc networks of sensors are becoming
increasingly available for commercial and military applications such
as environmental monitoring (e.g., traffic, habitat, security),
industrial sensing and diagnostics (e.g., factory, appliances),
critical infrastructure protection (e.g., power grids, water
distribution, waste disposal), and situational awareness for
battlefield applications.

Information processing in sensor networks draws upon many disciplines
including signal processing/detection/estimation, networking and
protocols, embedded systems, data bases and information management, as
well as distributed algorithms. It opens up new research venues, which
include sensor tasking and control, tracking and localization,
probabilistic reasoning, sensor data fusion, distributed data bases,
communication protocols and theory that address network coverage,
connectivity, and capacity, as well as system/software architecture
and design methodologies. Moreover, all these issues have to consider
many cross-cutting requirements such as efficiency/cost tradeoff,
robustness, self-organization, fault-tolerance, timeliness,
scalability, and network longevity.

This Symposium will address issues from physical device design, to
signal processing and from networking to coordination protocols. The
Symposium will place special attention to revolutionary new
applications that are enabled by sensor network technology.

Topical areas of sensor networks include, but not limited to:

* Distributed and collaborative signal processing
* Network protocols for sensor networks
* Coding, compression, and information theory
* Distributed query processing
* Detection, classification, estimation, and tracking
* Network coverage, connectivity, and longevity
* Sensor tasking and control
* Embedded architectures and tools
* In-network processing and aggregation
* Data storage in sensor networks
* Location and time services
* Energy and resource management
* Distributed inference and fusion
* Programming models and languages
* Real-time scheduling
* Security and fault tolerance
* Simulation tools and environments
* Networked sensing and control
* Applications of sensor networks (e.g., automotive, battlefield,
  biology, construction, disaster recovery, environmental, medical,
security)

Along with a set of high-quality technical papers, IPSN'04 will also
include invited talks that highlight the state-of-the-art of sensor
network applications and research. The Symposium program will include
poster sessions that provide researchers with opportunity to discuss
their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the sensor network
community at large.  The Symposium will also include industrial
exhibition and demonstrations.
