Message from Andrew Campbell, General Chair
As General Chair it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to beautiful Boulder and the 4th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2006). In the short period since its inception in Los Angeles in 2003, SenSys has risen to become the leading forum for reporting on new, exciting, and technically important research in the field of sensor networks. There are many people who worked tirelessly behind the scenes over the last year to make this event first class. I've been very honored to work with a truly superb team who made my life considerably easier... [ Read more... ]

Background
The 4th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) is a highly selective, single-track forum for the presentation of research results on systems issues in the area of embedded, networked sensors. Distributed systems based on networked sensors and actuators with embedded computation capabilities allow for an instrumentation of the physical world at an unprecedented scale and density, thus enabling a new generation of monitoring and control applications. This conference provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing the design, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these systems. Sensor networks require contributions from many fields, from wireless communication and networking, embedded systems and hardware, distributed systems, data management, and applications, so we welcome cross-disciplinary work.

Call for participation
Final program We are pleased to announce the program for SenSys 2006. In all, nine sessions will take place over three days, presenting the very latest research in embedded networked sensor systems. Session topics include advances in sensing, network architecture and communications, operating systems and programming, and in-network processing and storage. The keynote speaker this year will be David Carlson, Director of the International Polar Year Program Office.
