2019 IEEE Conference on Wireless Sensors (ICWiSe)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The IEEE Conference on Wireless Sensors (ICWiSE) 2019 will be held in Penang Island, Malaysia on 19 – 21 November 2019. The conference provides an excellent opportunity to share and exchange technologies and applications in the area of wireless sensors for professionals, engineers, academics and industrial people worldwide. ICWiSE 2019 is sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Malaysia. ICWiSE entered its 6th year, the previous conferences were successfully organized in Kuching (ICWiSe 2013), Kuala Lumpur (ICWiSe 2014) and Malacca (2015), Langkawi (2016), Miri (2017) and Langkawi (2018).

Penang is a state in northwest Malaysia comprising mainland Seberang Perai and Penang Island. On the island, the state capital of George Town is home to landmarks such as colonial Fort Cornwallis, the ornate Chinese clan house Khoo Kongsi and the Kapitan Keling Mosque, all testaments to centuries of foreign influence. To the west, a funicular ascends Penang Hill, with its trails, flower gardens and panoramic views.

Penang is a world renowned exotic holiday destination – was known, once upon a time, as Pulau Pinang or the “Isle of the Betel Nut”. Listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 2008, this virgin paradise has no shortage of cultural sights and natural scenery. Nicknamed the Pearl of the Orient, Penang is famous for its soft sandy beaches and is fondly regarded as the food capital of Malaysia. Some of the most interesting sites of Penang include the sandy beaches of Tanjung Bungah, the landscape from the summit of Penang Hill and the vipers in the Snake Temple. The quaint nooks and crannies of Georgetown and the Tropical Spice Garden – the only spice garden in South East Asia – as well as Penang’s many flea markets, pasar malams’, KOMTAR and modern shopping malls also merit a visit.

Submission Guidelines
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ICWiSe 2019 accepts both regular (completed) research papers and research-in-progress as well as case study papers. Submitted papers may not be accepted or under review elsewhere.

Please submit your paper at: https://edas.info/N24295

Paper Format
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- All manuscripts must be in English.
- Papers submitted for review MUST NOT contain any author information (no authors, affiliation or address, and no explicit self-reference) due to the double-blind review process.
- All submitted papers should be in the form of a PDF file. The maximum length is 6 pages (A4 size, single space, Times Roman of font size 10, two columns format), including figures, tables and references.

Past ICWiSe proceedings have been included in IEEE Xplore Digital Library. ICWiSe 2019 proceedings will be sent for indexing for IEEEXplore. To facilitate this, papers must conform to IEEE format. A template is available from IEEE (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html).

Kindly disseminate the CFP to your colleagues and contacts.
