OVERVIEW of DCOSS 2014 POSTER SESSION
=====================================
http://dcoss.org/poster.php

IEEE DCOSS 2014 will feature a poster session that provides a forum for 
distributed computing and sensor network researchers and developers from 
academia, industry, and government to interact with and explore the latest 
research results. Towards this goal, IEEE DCOSS 2014 solicits posters presenting 
recent original results or ongoing research in the general area of sensor 
networks. Authors are invited to submit interesting results on all aspects of 
sensor networks, including algorithms, protocols, systems and applications. 

Poster presentations will provide authors with early feedback on their research 
work and enable them to exchange ideas with IEEE DCOSS participants. 

Poster papers will be included in the Proceedings of the Conference and in the 
IEEE Xplore. 

Each poster presenter will have the opportunity to present a one-minute rapid 
oral presentation of their work to attendees. This oral presentation will help 
generate interest in the topic of the poster, to encourage attendees to learn 
more. The poster presentation space available is 3ft wide x 4ft high, or 36in w 
x 48 in h (0.92m wide x 1.22m high). 

All posters will be reviewed and judged based on their originality, technical 
contribution and, particularly, their potential to generate interesting and 
interactive exchanges of ideas. 


POSTER PAPERS SUBMISSION:
Poster submission will be through EDAS at 
http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=17893&track=58897

Poster papers are limited to 2 pages in standard IEEE Transactions format ( 
template at 
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html ) 
and can also use the sample template for Microsoft Word: A4, US letter. Authors 
should highlight the leading ideas of the on-going research and its expected 
outcome and impact. Poster papers should present a summary of the research work 
and ideas that will be presented during the session. Accepted posters must be 
presented at the Conference, and at least one author must be registered for the 
conference. 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* 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
* Location, time and network-based services
* Mobile, participatory, and social sensing
* Network/System monitoring and management



OVERVIEW of DCOSS 2014 DEMO SESSION
===================================
http://dcoss.org/demo.php

IEEE DCOSS 2014 will feature a demo session that provides a forum for 
distributed computing and sensor network researchers and developers from 
academia, industry, and government to interact with and explore the latest 
research results. Towards this goal, IEEE DCOSS 2014 solicits demonstrations 
presenting recent original results or ongoing research in the general area of 
sensor networks. Authors are invited to submit interesting results on all 
aspects of sensor networks, including algorithms, protocols, systems and 
applications. 

Demonstrations provide a venue for hands-on experience for conference attendees 
and a means for researchers and attendees to interact with new research 
prototypes and testbeds. In special cases, video-based demonstrations will also 
be accepted. 

Each demonstration presenter will have the opportunity to present a one-minute 
rapid oral presentation of their work to attendees. This oral presentation will 
help generate interest in the topic of the demonstration, to encourage attendees 
to learn more. Moreover, the authors will also be allowed to display one A1 (594 
x 841 mm) vertically oriented poster explaining the demonstration. 

All demonstrations will be reviewed and judged based on their originality, 
technical contribution and, particularly, their potential to generate 
interesting and interactive exchanges of ideas. 

ABSTRACTS:
Demonstration abstracts are limited to 2 pages in standard IEEE Transactions 
format 
(http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/index.html#template) and 
should highlight the leading ideas of the on-going research and its expected 
outcome and impact. All accepted abstracts will appear in hardcopy. 
Demonstration abstracts should describe the demonstration activity, and in 
particular, describe special requirements for space and dedicated frequency 
channels, if any. Accepted demonstrations must be presented at the workshop, and 
at least one author must be registered for the conference. 

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
Demo submission will be through EDAS at 
http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=17893&track=58901
