SenSys 2027
ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems
SenSys 2027 is a merged flagship conference uniting the former SenSys, IPSN, and IoTDI communities into a single top-ranked forum for research on embedded artificial intelligence and sensing systems. Sponsored jointly by ACM and IEEE, it fosters interdisciplinary innovation across sensor networks, embedded systems, mobile computing, IoT, CPS, and AI-driven applications, serving as a central platform for academia and industry to advance the field.

Policies worth checking twice
- All submissions must be original, unpublished work not under review elsewhere.
- Double-blind review: no author names, affiliations, emails, or identifying metadata; self-citations must be in third person.
- Full papers are limited to 12 pages; short papers (visions, experiences, etc.) are limited to 6 pages; references and optional appendices may exceed page limits but are not required to be read by reviewers.
- Submissions must use two-column, single-spaced, 9-pt font (ACM acmart.cls, sigconf option preferred).
- Two-deadline submission model: papers rejected at the first deadline may be resubmitted to the second only with a substantive revision and a mandatory 'Response to Reviewers' statement (max 4 pages) mapping changes to reviewer concerns.
- Resubmissions are fully re-reviewed; acceptance is not guaranteed.
- Papers previously rejected at other conferences (e.g., SenSys, MobiSys, etc.) may optionally include an anonymized description of how concerns were addressed.
- Authors must declare conflicts of interest with program committee members per ACM policy, including recent employment, thesis advising, or collaboration within 24 months.
