CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Sensor Networks and Ambient Intelligence
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd International Workshop on Sensor Networks and Ambient Intelligence
In conjunction with PDCAT'09
http://www.cs.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/pdcat09/
December 8-11, 2009, Hiroshima, Japan

Call for Posters and Demos
In addition to full-length papers, SeNAmI 2009 welcomes submissions in the form of posters and demos that feature late-breaking results, innovative work in progress, preliminary research findings, or any interesting early ideas and visions, in areas of relevance to sensor-based ambient intelligence systems. Demonstrations are intended to showcase the practical implementation of novel new technologies, applications, techniques, and research prototypes or testbeds among others.

We are particularly interested to see emerging young researchers in this field, applying their creativity and skills to innovate new technologies that could make a real difference by solving some of the most challenging issues facing our world today. We welcome both academic and industrial submissions.

Abstract submission
Poster and Demo abstracts should be in single-column format and not exceed one page, including figures and references. The abstract should be prepared using the template provided on the website, and submitted as a Word document to: senami@aut.ac.nz

The information fields for the contact author and type of presentation (poster or demo) on second page of the abstract template should be completed as appropriate. For demo authors, please further specify any space requirements and/or any other equipment-specific requirements.

The abstracts of accepted posters and demos would be distributed to all conference participants through the USB memory version of the proceedings, but they would not be published by IEEE Computer Society. However, they would be published online with citable DOI (Digital Object Identifiers) and permanently archived by the Frontiers Research Foundation (a Swiss-based non-profit academic publisher).

Special registration fee
A special registration fee of 35,000 JPY has been planned for poster and demo authors. At least one of the authors must register and present their work in the workshop. All registrations shall go through the main conference (PDCAT) registration website.

Best Poster and Demo award
A selection panel will convene to select the recipients for the Best Poster and Best Demo awards, courtesy of the Global COE (Centers of Excellence) Program for Founding Ambient Information Society Infrastructure of Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Osaka University.

Important dates
Abstract submission due : October 23, 2009
Acceptance notification : November 1, 2009
