****   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:
