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 sensor network applications come together. The INSS provides a forum to hear about the latest developments in these areas, to exchange ideas, and to start up collaborations within these fields and between industry and academia. INSS’08 takes place in Kanazawa, June 17-19. Paper registration deadline is December 1, 2007, submission is December 14. More information on the INSS’08 webpage.

The 6th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) is a highly selective, single-track forum for the presentation of research results on systems issues in the area of embedded, networked sensors. Distributed systems based on networked sensors and actuators with embedded computation capabilities enable an instrumentation of the physical world at an unprecedented scale and density, thus enabling a new generation of monitoring and control applications. This conference provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing the design, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these systems. Sensor networks require contributions from many fields, from wireless communication and networking, embedded systems and hardware, distributed systems, data management, and applications. SenSys 2008 is held in Raleigh, NC, USA in November 2008. Paper registration and abstract deadline is April 7, 2008. See SenSys’08 web page for details.

The workshop will review and discuss the available technologies, their limitations, their adaptability to different environmental natural or artificial calamities (humanitarian demining obviously but also Earthquake, fire, chemical pollution, natural disaster, CBRN-E threat, etc) and discusses the development efforts to automate tasks related  to demining / detection / interventions  processes wherever possible through the use of Robotics Systems and other technologies.  Abstract deadline is December 15, the workshop takes place 28-30 March, 2008, at the American University in Cair, Egypt.

AMAM08 is the fourth international symposium dedicated to the neuromechanics, sensory perception, and intelligence behind adaptive movement in animals, and the modeling, analysis, and technical development of adaptive movement in animals and machines. Abstract deadline is January 21, 2008, the conference takes place June 1-6, 2008, Cleveland, OH, USA. For details, see the AMAM08 Web page.
