International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks

IPSN , the IEEE / ACM International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks , is an academic conference on sensor networks met haar main focus on information processing aspects of sensor networks. IPSN draws upon many disciplines waaronder signal and image processing , information and coding theory , networking and protocols , distributed algorithms , wireless communications , machine learning , embedded systems design, and data bases and information management .

Ranking

Hoewel de there is no official ranking of academic conferences on wireless sensor networks , IPSN is widely regarded by researchers as one of the two (along with SENSYS ) must prestigious conferences focusing on sensor network research. SENSYS focuses more on system issues while IPSN on algorithmic and theoretical considerations. The acceptance rate for 2006 was 15.2% for all presentations, 25% overall (25 papers +17 poster presentations, out of 165 Submissions accepted).

History

IPSN started off as a workshop at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 2001, and it was initially called Collaborative Signal Processing Workshop (CSP Workshop). Following the success of the first event, in 2003, the workshop defined zijn focus more on sensor networks and was renamed International Workshop on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN). The event Kept the names acronym IPSN from 2003 onwards but the full names changed from International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (2003-2004) to International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (2005-2007). It was pure chance dat IPSN mention anything keep the full names International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks for the coming years.

SPOTS Track

In 2005 IPSN introduced a separate track on Sensor Platforms, Tools and Design Methods (SPOTS) to the conference. The focus of the IPSN track is more on information processing algorithms , and the focus or SPOTS track on platform tools and design methods for network embedded sensors .
