Dear all,
As the next TC6 meeting will be organized in
Coimbra on May 19-20th, jointly with the
Networking conference
(http://networking2006.dei.uc.pt/), I expect many
of you will also attend the conference.
We still have room for one one-hour panel at
Networking on Thursday May 18th at 16:10.
Please send your suggestions of topics to me as
soon as possible (title and 5-line explanation),
and also indicate if you propose to chair the
panel or not.
Best regards,
Guy

ALGOSENSORS 06:
International Workshop on
Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks
July 15 2006, Venice, Italy
To be held in conjunction with ICALP 2006
http://ru1.cti.gr/algosensors06/
SCOPE
Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have recently become a very active
research subject due to their high potential of providing diverse services
to numerous important applications, including remote monitoring and
tracking in environmental applications and low maintenance ambient
intelligence in everyday life. The effective and efficient realization of
such large scale, complex ad-hoc networking environments requires
intensive, coordinated technical research and development efforts,
especially in power aware, scalable, robust wireless distributed
protocols, due to the unusual application requirements and the severe
resource constraints of the sensor devices.
On the other hand, a solid foundational background seems necessary for
sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is a challenge for
abstract modelling, algorithmic design and analysis to achieve provably
efficient, scalable and fault-tolerant realizations of such huge,
highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networks. Features including the
extremely large number of sensor devices in the network, the severe power,
computating and memory limitations, their dense, random deployment and
frequent failures, pose new interesting abstract modeling, algorithmic
design, analysis and implementation challenges.
This Workshop aims to bring together research contributions related to
diverse algorithmic aspects of wireless sensor networks.
TOPICS
Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including (but not
limited to):
* Models of sensor networks
* Methods for ad hoc deployment/topology control
* Energy management
* Data propagation and routing
* Localization
* Tracking
* Data aggregation/data compression
* Obstacle avoidance
* Power saving schemes
* Communication protocols
* Medium access control
* Security and trust
* Distributed computing issues

Dear all,
since several of you have asked in the past about the dates and
the locations of the next meetings I append the corresponding
part of the meeting minutes 2005/2 (the delegates' questions were another
proof for the observation that nobody reads any minutes ;-) ).
The locations in 2007 and 2008 are still for further discussion.
However, a connection of the first meeting per year with the
NetworkingXX conference is strongly recommended.
The meeting in Coimbra should be started Friday around noon
and it should end Saturday evening.
Best regards
Otto
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Future TC6 meetings
2006/1
To be held in Coimbra, Portugal, Friday 19th and Saturday 20th May.
2006/2 - Please note the change of location and date for meeting 2006/2
This was originally agreed to be held in Santiago, Chile, in association
with the WCC. For a variety of reasons, it has been agreed that it would
be better to hold the full Autumn TC6 meeting in Paris on Friday 29th
and Saturday 30th September. There will be a special (one day) TC6
meeting in Santiago de Chile concerning developing country questions;
probably on Friday, 25th August 2006.
2007/1
To be held in Atlanta, United States, dates to be confirmed.
2007/2
To be held in South Africa, location and dates to be confirmed.
2008/1
To be held in the United Kingdom in May, location and precise dates to
be confirmed.
