CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on People Centric Sensing and Communications (PCSC)
(www.samrg.org/pcsc/2014)
at IEEE CCNC 2014, Las Vegas, NV, USA - Jan 10, 2014
(www.ieee-ccnc.org)

Networked consumer devices are equipped for personal and environmental sensing, collection, and delivery of sensed information. The workshop addresses a range of research issues involving networking, sensing, data collection, aggregation and processing, knowledge discovery in sensing data, security/privacy, scalability, contextual/situational adaptation and dynamics.

Papers are max 5 pages in length and conform to the IEEE conference format.
Paper submissions are via EDAS (see the conference web site later).
Papers receive at least 3 independent reviews from workshop TPC.
