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

Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due to their
potential for providing diverse new capabilities applications. The focus of the
IEEE DCOSS conference is on distributed computing issues in large scale networked
sensor systems (including algorithms and applications, systems design techniques
and tools, and in-network signal and information processing). The conference
normally features three tracks on Algorithms, Systems, and Signal Processing. In
DCOSS 2014, the special track is “Social Networks and Crowdsensing”. All accepted
papers will be included in the symposium proceedings, which will be published by
the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and submitted to the IEEE
Xplore Digital Library. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished
manuscripts that demonstrate current research on computational aspects of
distributed sensor systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Social networks and crowdsensing
* Sensors for Smart Grid systems, green networks and sustainability
* Computation and programming models
* Energy models, minimization, awareness
* Distributed collaborative information processing
* Detection and tracking
* Theoretical performance analysis complexity, correctness, scalability
* Abstractions for modular design
* Fault tolerance and security
* Languages, operating systems
* Task allocation, reprogramming and reconfiguration
* Dynamic resource management
* Scalable, heterogeneous architectures (node and system-level)
* Middleware interfaces, communication and processing primitives
* Design, simulation and optimization tools for deployment and operation
* Design automation and application synthesis techniques
* Closed-loop control for sensing and actuation
* Case studies lessons from real world deployments
* Network coding and compression
