Wireless sensor networks (WSN) - networks of tiny, autonomous sensor devices equipped with wireless communication - are a topic of active research in a number of different research communities, ranging from hardware to applications.

You are cordially invited to participate in EWSN 2006 - the third of a series of annual meetings focusing on the latest research in this rapidly growing research area. This year's conference features:

- 21 full papers (abstracts available online), selected from over 130 submissions;

- a keynote by Karl Aberer, EPFL, director of NCCR-MICS (www.mics.ch), the major Swiss research initiative on ad hoc wireless sensor networks;

- two half-day tutorials by leading experts in their fields:

* Data Management in Sensor Networks by Samuel Madden, MIT, and

* Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks by Roger Wattenhofer, ETH Zurich;

- poster and demonstration session with 30 contributions;

- a special session on European research initiatives dedicated to wireless sensor networks; and

- a special session on the "Sentient Future Competition", where the best ideas about applications of sensor networks in ten years from now will be introduced and awarded.

Program details and online registration are now available at http://www.ewsn.org. The early registration deadline is

January 15, 2006.

Best regards, EWSN 2006 organizers.
