*************************************************************************

During the past years, the International Conference on Networked Sensing 
Systems(INSS) has established itself as THE scientific event where 
academic and industrial experts from the areas of sensor systems, 
wireless networks,and applications on sensor networks come together. 
The INSS provides a forum to hear about the hottest developments in 
these areas, to exchange ideas, and to start up collaborations within 
these fields and between industry and academia.

INSS 2007 is the fourth annual conference in the series, and features a 
highly selective, single-track technical program. We invite outstanding 
research papers from the field of sensor technology, wireless networking, 
or application of networked sensor systems. The conference especially 
encourages submissions that investigate research issues shared between 
all three areas.

Topics include but are not limited to:
 - Applications of Networked Sensing Systems
 - Prototypes, Field Studies, and Testbeds
    for Networked Sensing Systems
 - Security for Networked Sensing Systems
 - Data Management for Networked Sensing Systems
 - Middleware for Networked Sensing Systems
 - Communication Protocols
 - Sensor Phenomena and Modeling
 - Sensors and Sensing Systems
 - Materials, Fabrication, and Packaging of Sensors

INSS 2007 invites the submission of both regular and BOF papers. 
Regular papers must be no more than 8 two-column pages (minimum 4 pages) 
long and include an abstract of 100 - 150 words. Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) 
papers must be no more than 4 two-column pages long and include an 
abstract of 100 - 150 words. BoF papers are suitable for interactive 
discussions; the presenters of accepted BoF papers are given short oral 
presentation times and poster space for discussions.

INSS 2007 is specifically seeking papers that are of interest to the 
interdisciplinary community represented at the conference. All 
submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis of 
originality, significance of contribution, technical correctness, and 
presentation. Papers submitted must not be under simultaneous review 
for any other conference, journal, workshop, or other publication. 
Papers should be formatted according to the "IEEE transactions" format 
- see the conference Web site for details. Accepted papers will be 
included in the conference proceedings. Authors are required to attend 
the conference to present their work.
