                                 CALL FOR PAPERS

                                 Conference on
Intelligent Sensing, Situation Management and Impact Assessment (ISSM09)

                                       at

                       SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing 2009
                                13 - 17 April 2009
                Orlando World Center Marriott Resort & Convention Center
                           Orlando, FL United States

The intersecting advances of sensor networks, fusion, and knowledge-based
situation management will enable context awareness and situation awareness
on much larger scales than previously possible. The ability to intelligently
sense and fuse information-rich real-time pictures of wide-area environments
is important for disaster recovery, homeland security, cyber security,
network centric warfare, and other context awareness applications.

Submissions are  sought in areas including the following:

+ Large-scale sensor-based data collection architectures
+ Intelligent sensing in tactical, ad hoc, sensor and mobile networks
+ Intelligent, autonomic and self-organizing sensing and sensor networks
+ Measurement and sensing grids
+ Distributed event-driven systems for sensing and fusion systems
+ Temporal and spatial event correlation algorithms
+ Situation awareness in incomplete, inexact and probabilistic environments
+ Threat prediction, vulnerability analysis  and impact assessment
+ Integration with SOA and enterprise event processors
+ GIS and localization technologies in situation management
+ Peer-to-peer architectures for situation management
+ Applications in cyber security, disaster response, crises management,
    home land security, intelligent transportation, industry and health care
+ Deployment experience and testbeds

All papers should be formatted and submitted according to the
SPIE Defense, Security and Sensing 2009 guidelines and will be reviewed by
the technical program committee.
