National Science Foundation Networking of Sensor Systems (NOSS) Informational Meeting

October 18, 2005 Harvard University

The goal of the Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) program at the National Science Foundation is to sustain the science and technology needed to fulfill our vision for next-generation networks and to address the limitations of existing networks. One focus area within NeTS is the Networking of Sensor Systems (NOSS).

The NOSS Informational Meeting will be held on October 18, 2005, at Harvard University's Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The purpose of this informational meeting is to share the goals and scope of the NOSS focus area with those who hope to be funded by the NOSS program. By including presentations from researchers, vendors, and applications experts, this meeting will enable attendees to get a sense of the state of the art in sensor networks, and the key challenges facing the focus area and sub-areas thereof. The meeting will also provide a venue for NSF to discuss logistics for the focus area and for the overall networking program, and to answer questions from the community.

The informational meeting is open to all interested members of the scientific community. Please note that space is limited to 150 attendees, so please register as soon as possible.

Registration deadline: October 10, 2005
