**************************************************** IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS) June 18 - June 20, 2006 San Francisco, California, USA www.dcoss.org CALL FOR POSTERS **************************************************** *************************************************** **** EXTENDED ABSTRACTS DUE APRIL 7, 2006 **** *************************************************** The 2006 International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '06) will take place in San Francisco during June 18 - June 20, 2006. DCOSS '06 is intended to cover high-level aspects of distributed computing in sensor systems such as high-level abstractions, computational models, systematic design methodologies, algorithms, analysis and applications. DCOSS '06 solicits posters that report on recent original results or ongoing research in the area of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Computation and programming models - Energy models, minimization, awareness - Distributed algorithms for collaborative information processing - Theoretical performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability, fault-tolerance - Abstractions for modular design - Languages, operating systems - Task allocation, reprogramming and reconfiguration - Dynamic resource management - Scalable, heterogeneous architectures (node and system-level) - Middleware interfaces, communication and processing primitives - Design, simulation and optimization tools for deployment and operation - Design automation and application synthesis techniques - Case studies: lessons from real world deployments Poster presentations will provide authors with early feedback on their research work and enable them to exchange ideas during the Conference. All posters will be reviewed and judged based on their originality, technical contribution and, particularly, their potential to generate interesting exchanges of ideas. A "Poster Proceedings" volume of hardcopy printouts of extended abstracts for accepted posters will be distributed during the conference. Displayed posters should consist of (more or less) 8 A4 pages or 4 A3 pages. Submission Instructions: ----------------------- * Poster proposals must be submitted as a single pdf file of 2-6 single-spaced, single-column pages with a 12-point font. * Please submit your poster paper pdf file as an email attachment to the Poster Chair Jim Reich at the address: jreich@parc.com The subject line of your email should be "DCOSS 2006 POSTER PROPOSAL" Posters should be submitted under the assumption that, if accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the meeting and present the poster. Important Dates: ---------------- Poster extended abstract submission: April 7, 2006 Notification of acceptance/rejection: April 24, 2006 Camera-ready extended abstract due: May 1, 2006
