1. SENSOR NETWORK MIDDLEWARE
DAVIM: Adaptable Middleware for Sensor Networks
Wouter Horré, Sam Michiels, Wouter Joosen, and Pierre Verbaeten
DAVIM is adaptable middleware that enables dynamic management of
services and provides isolation between simultaneously running
applications.

2. FROM IEEE PERVASIVE COMPUTING: SECURITY & PRIVACY
Denial-of-Service in Wireless Sensor Networks: Attacks and Defenses
David R. Raymond and Scott F. Midkiff
This survey of denial-of-service threats and countermeasures considers
wireless sensor platforms' resource constraints as well as the
denial-of-sleep attack, which targets a battery-powered device's energy
supply.

3. FROM IEEE PERVASIVE COMPUTING: INTERVIEW
An Interview with RFID Security Expert Ari Juels
Tadayoshi Kohno
Tadayoshi Kohno interviews Ari Juels, chief scientist and director of
RSA Laboratories. Juels is a leading expert in computer security in
general and in RFID security and privacy in particular.

4. FROM IEEE INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS: TRENDS & CONTROVERSIES
Semantic Web Services, Part 2
David Martin, John Domingue, Amit Sheth, Steve Battle, Katia Sycara, and
Dieter Fensel
Semantic Web services has been a vigorous technology research area for
about six years, producing a great deal of innovative work. Part 2 of
this Trends & Controversies department continues exploring the state of
the art, current practices, and future directions for SWS.

5. NEWS
Telework: Phoning It In
Greg Goth
A new study compiles and analyzes scattered research on "the good, the
bad, and the unknown" about a new work mode. Will "old school"
enterprises listen?

6. FROM IEEE PERVASIVE COMPUTING: NEW PRODUCTS
Maria Ebling and Mark Corner
Learn about an implantable medical device, the latest wrist phone, a new
camera-phone-based measurement tool, and more.

7. FROM IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MOBILE COMPUTING
Protecting Location Privacy with Personalized k-Anonymity: Architecture
and Algorithms
Buğra Gedik and Ling Liu
An important challenge in the wide deployment of location-based services
is the privacy-aware management of location information, providing
safeguards for location privacy of mobile clients against
vulnerabilities for abuse. A scalable architecture uses a flexible
privacy personalization framework to support location k-anonymity for a
wide range of mobile clients with context-sensitive privacy requirements.
