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 a multitude of 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 11th International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras (ICDSC) is the appropriate forum to discuss recent advances and open issues in these topics. After the successful events celebrated in Paris (2016), Sevilla (2015), Venice (2014), Palm Springs (2013), Hong Kong (2012), Ghent (2011), Atlanta (2010), Como (2009), Stanford (2008) and Vienna (2007). We return this year to the Stanford venue, location of the 2008 ICDSC Conference, hosted again by mediaX at Stanford University, in cooperation with Prefixa and ACM/SIGBED.

ICDSC 2017 will take place from the 5th to the 7th September 2017 at Stanford University, California, USA.
