The Third IEEE Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNets 2006) May 30-31, 2006 Maxwell Dworkin Hall, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA
http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/emnets/
The Third Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNets 2006) will focus on groundbreaking research in wireless sensor systems with an emphasis on three topic areas: (1) Emerging research directions for sensor networks; (2) Application experiences; and (3) Early results from new research efforts. In keeping with the focused workshop format, EmNets encourages submissions that present exciting new work, challenge conventional ideas, propose new research directions, evaluate real-world applications and deployments, and generate controversy. We especially welcome papers reporting on highly original or risky research, position papers, and reports on application experiences and deployments, which may not otherwise be published as full conference papers.
We specifically discourage submissions that are short versions of papers that will be submitted to other conferences in the near future, since our goal is to engage the research community in a discussion of future challenges and issues for sensor networks. EmNets 2006 is supported in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (pending).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-New application domains for sensor networks -Sensor network architecture and protocols -Applications, testbeds, and real-world deployment experiences -Distributed algorithms and computation -Operating systems and network programming paradigms -Management, debugging, troubleshooting, and measurement tools -Data storage issues -Transport and dissemination -Distributed actuation and control -Fault tolerance and reliability -Security, vulnerabilities, and defenses -Architectural insight, analysis and fundamental limits
Submissions:
Please submit position papers or short papers describing early research results. Submitted papers should be no longer than five two-column pages, including all figures and references, using 10-point fonts, standard spacing, and 1-inch margins. For detailed submission information see the workshop website.
