SENSORNETS 2015 – The International Conference on Sensor Networks took place in Angers, France from, February 11 to 13.

SENSORNETS 2015 was held in conjunction with PhyCS 2015 and PECCS 2015, covering a broad range of related fields, including any aspect of sensor networks.

This year SENSORNETS received 61 submissions. After a strict selection process, the SENSORNETS program included 14 papers as full papers (23% of submissions) and 9 as short papers (15% of submissions). Additionally, 7 papers were accepted for poster presentation. With these acceptance ratios, SENSORNETS 2015 continues the tradition of previous conferences, a quality conference with high caliber.

A short list of papers presented at conference venue, will be invited to submit to publication in a special issue of Sensors & Transducers Journal.

In addition to the presentation sessions, SENSORNETS 2015 included four outstanding keynote lectures, which are relevant to today’s lines of research and technical innovation. These talks were presented by internationally distinguished researchers, namely:

Title: IoT-LAB – A First Class Scientific Tool for Large Scale IoT Experiments

  • Ingemar Cox, University of Copenhagen, Denmark and University College London, United Kingdom

Title: i-sense – Early Warning Sensing Systems for Infectious Diseases

Title: Implementation Considerations for Network Coding in Sensor Networks

Title: IoT, Big Data & Smart Cities – The Untold Story

The papers were organized in 6 sessions ranging the hot topics of nowadays such as Hardware of Sensor Networks, Wireless Communication Protocols, Sensor Networks Software and Architectures, Wireless Information Networks, Data Manipulation, Signal Processing, Localization and Object Tracking through Sensor Networks, Obstacles, Applications and Uses.
