Welcome to ACM SenSys 2021


The 19th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2021) introduces a highly selective, single-track forum for research on systems issues of sensors and sensor-enabled smart systems, broadly defined. Systems of smart sensors will revolutionize a wide array of application areas by providing an unprecedented density and fidelity of instrumentation. They also present various systems challenges because of resource constraints, uncertainty, irregularity, mobility, and scale. This conference provides an ideal venue to address research challenges facing the design, development, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these systems. Sensing systems require contributions from many fields, from wireless communication and networking, embedded systems and hardware, energy harvesting and management, distributed systems and algorithms, data management, and applications, so we welcome cross-disciplinary work.

āœˆļø šŸ’°Student Travel Grants

SenSys/BuildSys 2021 is pleased to provide student travel grant to broaden the participation in the main conferences and co-located events (Workshops, Doctoral Colloquium, Poster/Demo sessions, etc.). This support is made possible by the generous support from SIGMOBILE. For more information please access here.

šŸŽ† N2Women Young Researcher Fellowship awards.

N2Women is pleased to announce the continuation of our N2Women Young Researcher Fellowship awards. N2Women considers you a young researcherĀ if you are currently a student, working as a post-doc, or in the 1st or 2nd year of your new research career. These awards will partially cover a youngĀ researcher'sĀ registration/travel cost (up to $1000) to a meeting where an N2Women event will be held. In exchange, the young researcher must helpĀ organize the N2Women meeting. The benefit of doing the organization, in addition to theĀ registration/travel funds, isĀ forĀ the young researcher to connect with the organizers ofĀ the conference who are, typically, leaders in the research field. We will arrange for a faculty or research member of N2Women to assist/mentor theĀ young researcher in this task. Support for these N2Women Young Researcher Fellowship awards have been generously provided by ACM SIGMOBILE, ACM SIGCOMM, IEEEĀ Communications Society, and IEEE Computer Society (CS) Technical Committee on Computer Communications (TCCC).

To applyĀ forĀ a fellowship orĀ forĀ more information, please see: http://committees.comsoc.org/n2women/ and and click the Fellowships link.

The deadlineĀ forĀ applicationsĀ forĀ SenSysĀ 2021 is Oct 27thĀ 2021
