Like prior years, IPSN'17 will continue 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, modeling, implementation, evaluation, deployment experiences, and tools for networked embedded sensor systems and the Internet of Things. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

Sensor data storage, retrieval, processing
Streaming sensor system tasking and operation
Coding, compression, and information theory
Machine learning and deep learning on sensor data
Sensor tasking, control, and actuation
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
Embedded systems software frameworks
Modeling, simulation, and measurement tools
Operating systems and runtime environments
User interfaces for sensing apps and systems
Cloud, mobile, participatory, and social sensing
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
Evaluation/deployment of industrial sensor systems
Sensor-enabled drone platforms and algorithms

Submission Guidelines

Full papers must be at most 12 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" (US letter) pages, including figures, tables, and references, two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep. Left and right margins must be )= 0.75". Top and bottom margins must be )= 1". Each column should be 3.33" with a 0.33" gutter. Each column must contain no more than 55 lines of text. We also solicit short papers (maximum six pages) containing interesting technical nuggets. Full papers may be accepted with the condition of converting them into short papers.
