[DMANET] Extended (FIRM) deadline Feb 7, IEEE DCOSS 2022 (Los Angeles/Hybrid)

*The 18th Annual International Conference on Distributed Computing in
Sensor Systems (DCOSS'22)**Los Angeles, California, USA -- May 30 - June
1, 2022

* The DCOSS series of events are technically co-sponsored by IEEE and
Proceedings are published by IEEE Xplore.

=======================================================

COVID-19 Planning

DCOSS 2022 is monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic evolution and a hybrid
attendance format may be considered, if needed; in case of a hybrid format,
every paper accepted for DCOSS 2022 (presented in person or virtually) will
be published in the IEEE proceedings.

=======================================================

DCOSS 2022 is the 18th International Conference on Distributed Computing in
Sensor Systems to be held in Marina Del Rey, LA, California, USA on May
30-June 1, 2022, and is technically co-sponsored by IEEE Computer Society
and by the IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP).

In the last few years, we have witnessed a significant growth in the use of
IoT and distributed sensor systems in a number of application areas,
ranging from smart transport, energy and buildings, to factory automation,
smart healthcare and environmental monitoring. In order for smart sensor
systems to truly become useful and pervasive, we need to address a number
of research challenges, including the tight integration of sensing and
machine intelligence, reliable and efficient networking, interoperability
and scalability, the need for dependable autonomy, interaction with humans,
and important aspects of security, privacy and trust. DCOSS focuses on
issues arising in the entire IoT and networked sensor systems stack,
covering aspects of high-level abstractions, models and languages, novel
algorithms and applications, system design approaches and architectures, as
well as tools for simulated and real deployments. Potential authors are
invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate recent
advances in both theoretical and experimental research.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

● Artificial Intelligence for IoT

● Machine learning and data mining for IoT and sensor systems

● Smart healthcare to combat epidemics (including COVID-19)

● Edge and fog computing: distributed computing models from sensor to
cloud

● Energy harvesting models and optimization

● Machine intelligence in distributed sensor systems and real time
analytics

● Communication and networking primitives / protocols for wireless
embedded systems / cross-technology communication schemes

● Autonomy: closing the loop between sensing and actuation

● Time and location management

● Task allocation, reprogramming, and reconfiguration

● Robustness, resilience, and dependability

● Security and privacy issues

● Approaches, tools, and experience of deployment and operation

● Performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability

● Mobile and human-centered sensing

● Interoperability, heterogeneity and scalability

● Social sensing and crowd sensing and techniques, applications, and
systems

● Complex systems comprising wearable, robotic and/or fixed sensor
systems

● Novel and compelling applications

● IoT systems for emerging and developing economies

● Green and environmentally-friendly IoT (low-power, harvesting,
energy management)

● Design and implementation of real-world applications and systems

● Measurement studies and deployment experiences

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that
demonstrate current research on distributed sensor systems related to the
aforementioned topics of interest. Please use the US letter size (8.5 X 11
in) standard IEEE conference LaTeX format or Microsoft Word template
available on:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
.

All submissions should be written in English and have a maximum of eight
(8) printed pages including figures and references. Note that DCOSS does
not follow the double-blind review policy, i.e., the names and affiliations
of all the authors must be present in the submitted manuscript.
