                     IEEE International Conference on
                 Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems
                          June 18 - 20, 2007

                               WWW.DCOSS.ORG

The 2007 International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems
(DCOSS '07) will take place in Santa Fe during June 18 - 20, 2007. The first
and second DCOSS conferences, held at Marina Del Rey and San Francisco
respectively, featured high quality research papers and interesting invited
and contributed poster/presentation sessions.  DCOSS '07 is intended to cover
several aspects of distributed computing in sensor systems such as high level
abstractions, computational models, systematic design methodologies,
algorithms, analysis and applications. The conference will be co-located with
several closely related workshops, and will provide a forum for researchers
and practitioners to present their contributions related to the above
high-level aspects of distributed sensor systems. In addition to
contributed papers, the meeting will also include keynote addresses by
leading researchers, a panel discussion, and a poster/presentation session.

                          CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
                      ==============================

CALL FOR PAPERS

Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due to
their potential for providing diverse new capabilities.  Such systems allow
intelligent dense monitoring of physical environments, which makes them
immensely useful for data collection and analysis.  While much ongoing
research has addressed networking, communication and low-level
self-configuration issues in such systems, there are also significant
challenges pertaining to systematic design, algorithm development and
analysis, and abstract modeling in order to achieve efficient and
robust realizations of large-scale distributed sensor systems.  The
large number of sensor devices involved, severe power, computational
and memory limitations, resource heterogeneity, dense deployment and
frequent failures pose novel challenges to design, algorithms,
analysis and implementation.

The focus of the conference is on distributed computing issues in large-scale
networked sensor systems (including algorithms, applications, and systematic
design techniques and tools), but networking-related contributions that
support high level abstractions are also welcome. Authors are invited
to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current
research on computational aspects of distributed sensor systems.
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

PAPER SUBMISSION

Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 12 single-spaced pages using
12-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures and tables.
References may be included in addition to the 12 pages. Submissions
will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength,
significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to
the conference attendees.  Submitted papers may not have appeared in
or be under consideration for another conference or a journal.
Submission procedures will be available via Web access at
http://www.dcoss.org/

All manuscripts will be reviewed.  Manuscripts must be received by February 5,
2007, by 5 p.m. U.S. Pacific Coast Time. Notification of review decisions will
be mailed by April 2, 2007. Camera-ready papers will be due April 16, 2007.

DCOSS '07 Proceedings will be distributed at the Conference.
