Scope

S-CUBE 2018, the 9th International Conference on Sensor Systems and Software, provides an ideal venue to disseminate state-of-the-art work in the areas of system development and software support for wireless sensor network-based systems.

Wireless sensor networks are enabling innovative and interesting applications ranging from smart-homes and smart-cities to precision agriculture and advanced healthcare. The widespread acceptance of these new services however can be improved by the definition of new protocols, programming languages, frameworks, and architectures that can not only simplify the software development of wireless sensor networks, but that can also facilitate their system design, deployment, monitoring and maintenance. Tackling these challenges requires contributions from many fields such as embedded systems, distributed systems, software engineering, semantic web, real-time data acquisition and data fusion, wireless protocols and system security.

The aim of the conference is to create a forum in which researchers from academia and
industry, practitioners, business leaders, intellectual property experts, and venture capitalists
may work together in order to compare and debate different innovative solutions.The conference will feature a highly selective technical program consisting of regular research papers, short papers, posters and demos.

Topics

Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. The specific topics of the conference include but are not limited to:

    Critical infrastructure monitoring and control
    Data processing, storage and management
