Message from Andrew Campbell, General Chair
|
|
As General Chair it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to beautiful
Boulder and the 4th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2006).
In the short period since its inception in Los Angeles in 2003, SenSys has
risen to become the leading forum for reporting on new, exciting, and technically
important research in the field of sensor networks. There are many people
who worked tirelessly behind the scenes over the last year to make this event
first class. I've been very honored to work with a truly superb team who made
my life considerably easier...

Background
|
|
The 4th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys)
is a highly selective, single-track forum for the presentation of
research results on systems issues in the area of embedded, networked
sensors. Distributed systems based on networked sensors and actuators
with embedded computation capabilities allow for an instrumentation of
the physical world at an unprecedented scale and density, thus
enabling a new generation of monitoring and control applications. This
conference provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges
facing the design, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these
systems. Sensor networks require contributions from many fields, from
wireless communication and networking, embedded systems and hardware,
distributed systems, data management, and applications, so we welcome
cross-disciplinary work.

Final program
We are pleased to announce the program for SenSys 2006. In all, nine
sessions will take place over three days, presenting the
very latest research in embedded networked sensor systems.
Session topics include advances in sensing, network architecture and
communications, operating systems and programming,
and in-network processing and storage.
The keynote speaker this year will be David Carlson, Director of
the International Polar Year Program Office.

First Workshop on World-Sensor-Web:
Mobile Device Centric Sensory Networks and Applications
Boulder, Colorado, USA
October 31, 2006
The global use of mobile phones on a scale never seen before enables the development of new types of application scenarios. Furthermore, a mobile device centric approach to large-scale sensory networks provides a challenging platform for research purposes. Additionally, connecting sensory networks to the Internet creates endless opportunities for applications and services, new emerging models of operation.

Workshop on Distributed Smart Cameras
Boulder, Colorado, USA
October 31, 2006
Distributed smart cameras combine two concepts: physically distributed cameras and distributed computing. Distributed smart cameras are examples of high-performance multimedia sensor networks. This area brings together researchers in image processing, sensor networks, and embedded system architecture.

Venue/Hotels
SenSys 2006 will be held at the Stadium Club at Folsom Field, a conference
facility of the University of Colorado at Boulder.
The Stadium Club offers a spectacular
view of the CU Football Stadium and the Flatiron Mountains. While complete
travel information
will be provided shortly, a list of hotels offering special rates for
SenSys 2006 is available now.
Please be advised that the cutoff date to qualify for these rates is
Friday September 29, 2006.
A site containing information about restaurants, local attractions, maps and directions, parking and public transportation, and the local weather conditions is being compiled by the graduate students at the University of Colorado. This site will be updated regularly as the conference approaches, so check back as you start to make your travel arrangements.
