Dear Colleagues,
we are happy to announce the Call for Papers for the 2nd International Workshop on Distributed Smart Cameras (IWDSC), which will be virtually held in conjunction with the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV).

All the following information is also available at https://iwdsc.github.io/

Apologies if you have received this more than once.

================================================================
About IWDSC
================================================================
Smart camera networks are becoming a fundamental piece of our intelligent cities, buildings, and homes, progressively inserting themselves into our lives. From smart surveillance systems composed of many smart camera nodes to small wearable cameras able to render a visual log of our daily experience, these devices interact with each other and with a wealth of other smart things, and of course the internet. Their rapid development is possible thanks to the convergence of several technologies. From advanced image sensors and vision chips to embedded vision systems capable of efficient feature extraction, image encoding, and wireless transmission of the relevant visual content: This technology opens the door to new application domains, where video analytics and the extraction of semantic information from the scene is performed in a distributed fashion, implementing a new type of cooperative and/or collaborative vision. 

The IWDSC team has previously organized 12 editions of the International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras (ICDSC) with ACM as an international forum to discuss recent advances and open issues on these topics.

Submission
================================================================
The submission site is open, and accessible at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/IWDSC2022/   

Each paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the Scientific Program Committee, in a double-blind fashion. The submitted papers should present original work, not currently under review elsewhere, and should have no substantial overlap with already published work. Submissions should be submitted in PDF and should be no more than 14 pages (additional pages containing only cited references are allowed) following the ECCV main Conference paper format and guidelines (https://iwdsc.github.io/submissions/).

================================================================
Important Dates
================================================================
Paper Submission Deadline: July 21, 2022 (11:59 PM Pacific Time)
Reviews Released to Authors: August 11, 2022 (11:59 PM Pacific Time)
Camera-ready due: August 22, 2022 (11:59 PM Pacific Time)
In case of rejection from ECCV, authors can submit their work to the workshop. Authors should address all ECCV reviewers’ comments in the submitted paper and submit the ECCV reviews as supplementary material.

================================================================
Proceedings and Special Issue 
================================================================
Accepted papers will be published in the ECCV Workshop Proceedings. Authors of high-quality papers will be invited to extend their work and submit it for a special issue in a JCR-indexed journal.
