ACM SIGCOMM 2022 Workshop on Networked Sensing Systems for a Sustainable Society (NET4us 2022)
Call for Papers Sustainable environmental sensing systems, as the converging point of several technologies, can have tremendous potential to deliver social value. Multiple industries are progressively investing in environmental sustainability initiatives and technologies to improve quality of life while safeguarding natural resources. For example, the Internet of Things could be a game-changer for sustainability, as reported by the World Economic Forum, which indicated that 84% of IoT deployments are currently addressing, or have the potential to handle, some of the 17 SDGs. Different challenges need to be addressed, from designing "better" sensing objects, i.e., energy-efficient, low power, and able to communicate via wide-area networks, to turning to the general public for deploying such systems and crowdsourcing data using social sensing or citizen science. With the "Networked sensing systems for a sustainable society" (NET4us) workshop, we aim to present and showcase the latest advances in sustainable networked sensing systems to monitor different urban and rural conditions to improve both people's quality of life and reduce climate change. Therefore, we seek original, unpublished papers addressing key issues and challenges in this growing area. Topics of Interest Analysis, simulation, testbed, and measurement campaigns Converged communication, computing, and storage technologies Crowd-sensing, human-centric sensing, Citizen science Data collection, organization and dissemination methods Digital twins networking and system Emerging applications (e.g., IoT for Agriculture, Smart City, Smart Energy, Smart Health, Smart Transport, Public Safety, Humanitarian Technologies, Society 5.0) Enabling communication technologies for IoT (e.g., wireless, optical, acoustic, molecular, quantum) Energy efficiency, energy harvesting, power management, and green operation Industrial Network and Industry 4.0 IoT for Open Science Lightweight security design Novel Internet of Everything (IoE) paradigms (e.g., Internet of Bio-Nano Things, Internet of Drones, Internet of People) Rural area sensing and connectivity solutions Smart objects, cooperative devices, environments, middleware, platforms, and tools Socio-economic, security and privacy, standardization, policy, and regulatory aspects TinyML systems and application Ultra-low-power IoT technologies and embedded systems architectures Virtualization: Multiple sensors aggregated, or sensors shared by multiple users Submission Instructions Please submit your paper via https://net4us2022.hotcrp.com <https://net4us2022.hotcrp.com/>.
