[edit] About SenSys

ACM SenSys is a highly selective, single-track forum for the presentation of research results on systems issues in the area of embedded networked sensors. This conference provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing the design, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these systems. Sensor networks require contributions from many fields, from wireless communication and networking, embedded systems and hardware, distributed systems, data management, and applications, so SenSys welcomes cross-disciplinary work.

[edit] Ranking

Although there is no official ranking of academic conferences on wireless sensor networks, but SenSys is widely regarded by researchers as the top and most prestigious event in sensor networks.
