Please forward to interested colleagues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS The First International Workshop on Distributed Sensor Systems (DSS'07) in conjunction with IEEE ICCCN 2007 Turtle Bay Resort, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA August 16, 2007 http://alamode.mines.edu/~qhan/dss07 Extended Submission Deadline: April 10, 2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Networked small embedded devices with sensing capabilities will play a key role in the emerging pervasive computing environments. These devices include mote-class sensors as well as actuators, RFIDs, cameras, cellular phones, etc. This workshop encourages papers that address a variety of issues arising from this broad range of sensing-related systems and applications. The goal of this workshop is to provide a unique forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of distributed sensor systems are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of sensor systems are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Sensor network architectures and protocols - Quality of Service and real-time support - Fault tolerance and dependability - Tradeoffs between system performance and cost - System availability, resilience, and robustness - Security and privacy - Middleware for sensor networks - System and network management - Quality of Service routing - Distributed coordination algorithms - Applications - Prototypes and measurements - Power management and energy-efficient designs - Network architecture and protocols - Operating systems support - Visualization tools **Paper Submission Guidelines** Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE camera ready format (double-column, 10 point font size). All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF file and submit it using EDAS (http://edas.info/). When login EDAS, please click the Submit Paper tab, and then select ICCCN 2007 and click the associated Submit Paper icon. In the tracks page, please select DSS 2007 to submit your paper. Accepted papers will be published by either IEEE or Springer's LNCS. **Important Dates** Papers submission deadline..............March 22, 2007 Notification of acceptance/rejection....May 13, 2007 Camera-ready version due................June 1, 2007 **Workshop Program Co-chairs** Qi Han, Colorado School of Mines, USA (qhan@mines.edu) Qun Li, College of William and Mary, USA (liqun@cs.wm.edu) **Publicity Chair** Sebastian Gutierrez-Nolasco, University of California at Irvine, USA **Technical Program Committee** Norman Cohen..................IBM T.
