[edit] About IPSN

IPSN is a conference on sensor networks with its main focus on information processing aspects of sensor networks. IPSN draws upon many disciplines including signal and image processing, information and coding theory, networking and protocols, distributed algorithms, wireless communications, machine learning, embedded systems design, and data bases and information management.

[edit] IPSN Events

IPSN started in year 2002 and following is a list of IPSN events from 2002 to 2007:

6th IPSN 2007, (MIT) Cambridge, MA, USA, April 25-27, 2007
5th IPSN 2006, Nashville, Tennessee, USA, April 19-21, 2006
4th IPSN 2005, (UCLA) Los Angeles, CA, USA, April 25-27, 2005
3rd IPSN 2004, Berkeley, CA, USA, April 26-27, 2004
2nd IPSN 2003, Palo Alto, CA, USA, April 22-23, 2003
CSP Workshop 2002, (Xerox PARC) Palo Alto, CA (see history subsection for name explanation)

[edit] History

IPSN started off as a workshop at Xeros Palo Alto Research Center in 2002, and it was initially called Collaborative Signal Processing Workshop (CSP Workshop). Following the success of the first event, in 2003, the workshop defined it's focus more on sensor networks and was renamed International Workshop on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN). The event kept the name acronym IPSN from 2003 onwards but the full name changed from International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (2003 - 2004) to International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (2005 - 2007). It is expected that IPSN would keep the full name International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks for the coming years.

[edit] SPOTS Track

In 2005 IPSN introduced a separate track on Sensor Platforms, Tools and Design Methods (SPOTS) to the conference. The focus of the IPSN track is more on information processing algorithms, and the focus of SPOTS track is on platform tools and design methods for network embedded sensors.
