[SEMCO] Abstract Deadline extended

[Kristin Mallek]

The Center for Coastal Environmental Sensing Networks has extended their
deadline for abstract submissions.  Please read the revised call below
for more information.

 

Conference on Coastal Environmental Sensing Networks

April 12-13, 2007

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

The University of Massachusetts Boston Center for Coastal Environmental
Sensing  Networks (CESN) is pleased to announce the first conference on
Coastal Environmental Sensing Networks.

CESN is a new research center at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
With faculty and staff from fields including computer science,
oceanography, watershed science, coastal policy and management, and
biology, CESN is distinguished by its development of underwater sensor
networks that bridge the land-water interface.  Specifically, CESN is
focusing on the development of "smart" networks that observe the complex
interactions within coastal systems.  CESN aims to promote new
technologies that support coastal research, policy, and management. 

The first conference on Coastal Environmental Sensing Networks will
feature a keynote address by Dr. Estrin, Founding Director of the Center
for Embedded Network Sensing.  In addition, this conference will bring
together stakeholders from diverse fields to discuss information needs
and technology capabilities with regards to gathering, processing, and
utilizing information from the coastal environment via sensor networks. 

DATES TO REMEMBER

*         Abstract Submission Deadline: February 16, 2007 5:00 pm EST

*         Registration Deadline: March 30, 2007 5:00 pm EST

*         Paper Deadline: April 12, 2007 (Day of conference)

*         Conference: April 12-13, 2007

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

CESN invites participants to submit complete and original abstracts for
oral or poster presentations.  Anyone with an interest in the
application of sensing networks in the coastal environment is encouraged
to submit an abstract, including college and university faculty and
their students, researchers, regulators, and industry professionals.

The abstract should follow the "Abstract Preparation and Submission
Guidelines" specified in this Call.  If selected for a presentation,
authors must submit a complete paper (4-5 pages) before the start of the
conference.  Papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings.
Specific details will follow for those selected to write papers.

All submissions will be subject to review by the CESN Conference Review
Board.  Papers will be assigned to an appropriate session based on the
information provided in the abstract and the judgment of the Review
Board.  Due to time limitations some abstracts submitted as oral
presentations may be selected for poster presentation instead.

Authors may not submit abstracts for papers that have been previously
published in another forum; nor may they submit abstracts for papers
currently being published or reviewed by another journal or conference. 

CONFERENCE TOPICS

Abstracts should directly relate to the application of sensing networks
in the coastal environment.  Specific areas of interest include, but are
not limited to:

*         Sensor technology

*         Sensor networking

*         Cyberinfrastructure

*         Sensor applications 

*         Policy and management-related information and technology needs

ABSTRACT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.  All abstracts must not exceed 300 words, cannot
contain figures, and must be submitted electronically at
Http://www.cesn.umb.edu/cesn07.  Please make sure to include the
following (does not count toward your 300 word limit):

*         Presentation Title

*         Type of Presentation (oral or poster)

*         Name of Presenter

*         Affiliation

*         Mailing Address

*         Phone Number

*         Fax Number

*         Email Address

*         A written statement that you are not submitting an abstract
for a paper that has been previously published or that is concurrently
under review elsewhere.

Prior to final submission, authors will be asked to agree to a Creative
Commons license.  The Creative Commons license will allow CESN to make
materials available on the conference website, and will also allow users
to reproduce the abstracts without further permission from the
author(s), provided proper attribution is given.
