These distributed systems of numerous smart sensors and actuators connecting computational capabilities to the physical world have the potential to revolutionize a wide array of application areas by providing an unprecedented density and fidelity of instrumentation. They also present a host of novel systems challenges because of resource constraints, uncertainty, irregularity, and scale. SenSys design issues cut across multiple fields, including wireless communication, networking, operating systems, architecture, low-power circuits, distributed algorithms, data processing, scheduling, sensors, energy harvesting, and signal processing, so a holistic approach is required. SenSys seeks to provide a cross-disciplinary venue for researchers addressing the rich space of networked sensor system design issues to interact and exchange recent results. It is the first of a planned series of annual meetings with a highly selective, single-track technical program and a hands-on research exhibition. This inaugural 2003 conference shall take place in Los Angeles, CA. PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research are solicited. In general this conference is interested in papers that address system issues in embedded networked systems. Specific topics of interest include the following: * Network protocols for sensor networks * Operating system and middleware for sensor networks * Distributed database processing in sensor networks * Distributed algorithms for sensor networks * Novel sensor node hardware and software platforms * Sensor network planning and deployment * Energy management in sensor networks * Adaptive topology management * In-network processing and aggregation * Data storage in sensor networks * Distributed and collaborative signal processing * Distributed Actuation, Control, and Coordination * Localization in time and space * Distributed calibration in sensor networks * Simulation and optimization tools * Applications of distributed sensor networks * Security and Robustness in sensor networks Please consult the program chairs at sensys03-pcchairs@cens.ucla.edu if you are uncertain whether your paper is in the scope of the conference. PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS All submissions will be handled electronically and must be in PDF or PostScript format. Papers must not exceed 15 pages (US "Letter" size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. The font size must be at least 10 points. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. We will adopt a double-blind process for paper review, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names and their affiliations must not be revealed or mentioned anywhere in the paper or in the postscript or PDF file. Submitted papers should be original, unpublished work and not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected. To submit a paper, please refer to the paper submission link at the conference website, http://www.cens.ucla.edu/sensys03. Questions about the submission process should be directed to the Program Co-Chairs at <sensys03-pcchairs@cens.ucla.edu>. RESEARCH EXHIBITS and POSTERS There will be a research exhibition and poster session. Details will be provided in the final Call for Papers.
