BEST PAPER AWARD INLCUDED Advances in technology have made deployment of miniature sensors a realistic proposition. Low-power, inexpensive smart devices with multiple on-board sensors are connected through wireless links so as to form a collaborative sensor network to perform a specific task. As a result, it opens up a new paradigm of ubiquitous computing and enables a range of applications that are previously unrealizable or too costly to be realized. However, given the limitation of on-board hardware, one of the key areas towards achieving superior performance is through software implementation. The workshop is intended to bring together industry experts and researchers to share novel techniques, algorithms and software implementation for sensor networks, and to discuss the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and applications in the form of panels and technical presentation. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: 1. Operating System 2. Efficient algorithms 3. Protocol design considerations 4. Performance analysis 5. Performance related issues 6. Cross-layered design considerations 7. Sensor applications and their impact on sensor network architectures 8. Deployment issues and scenarios 9. Middleware 10. Sensor network security 11.
