ACM SenSys 2018 Call for Hosting Proposals

The Steering Committee of ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor
Systems (SenSys, http://sensys.acm.org/ ) calls for proposals on
hosting the 2018 edition of the conference. SenSys is a highly
selective, single-track forum for the presentation of research results
on sensing systems, broadly defined. In addition to the core technical
program, the conference also features poster and demo sessions,
workshops, and a PhD forum. It typically draws ~200 attendees from
universities, industrial, and government organizations around the
world.


The proposals will be considered in two phases. First, we call for
pre-proposals that include:
- Proposed city information, including local natural and cultural attractions.
- A short description of local research and education communities
related to SenSys.
- Expected weather and transportation conditions around early November.
- Type of conference facility in mind: university campus vs hotels.
- Key organizers, such as General Chair and Local Arrangement Chair,
and their experience organizing similar events.
- Any additional information that may help the steering committee to
make decisions.


For entries that generate enough interests, the steering committee
will further solicit full proposals that provide additional
information, such as:
- Possible facility setting, especially space arrangements for main
program, demos and posters, and workshops.
- Attendee cost estimate, such as hotel rate and transportation options.
- Social functions, such as reception and banquet options.
- Potential financial supports or risks. There is no geographical
preference on locations.


Proposals from all regions are encouraged to submit. Key dates:
- Deadline for pre-proposals: June 9, 2017.
- Notification for full proposal requests: June 26, 2017
- Deadline for full proposals: July 17, 2016
- Location announcement: business meeting at SenSys 2017
