<p><p>The 6th 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 enable 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.</p><p>We particularly encourage papers that extend the scope of the conference beyond wireless mote-class sensor networks and we seek contributions from a broad range of sensing-related fields, such as actuator networks, RFID applications, mobile ad-hoc networks, camera networks, and others. We seek technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:</p><table border="1" width="100%" id="table2"> <tr> <td width="376">Sensor network architecture and protocols</td> <td>Sensor network algorithms such as localization, routing, time synchronization, clustering, topology control, and coverage control algorithms</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="376">Rich sensor systems leveraging RFID, mobile devices (e.g., cell phones), cameras, robotics, etc.</td> <td> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><font size="3">Failure resilience and fault isolation</font></span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="376">Analysis of real-world systems and fundamental limits</td> <td> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><font size="3">Energy management</font></span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="376">Sensor network planning, provisioning, calibration and deployment</td> <td> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><font size="3">Data, information, and signal processing</font></span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="376">Deployment experience and testbeds</td> <td> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><font size="3">Data storage and management</font></span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="376">Experimental methods, including measurement, simulation, and emulation infrastructure</td> <td> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><font size="3">Distributed actuation and control</font></span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="376">Programming methodology</td> <td> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><font size="3">Applications</font></span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="376">Operating systems</td> <td> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><font size="3">Security and privacy</font></span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="376">&nbsp;</td> <td>Integration with back-end systems such as web-based information systems, process control, and enterprise software</td> </tr></table>&nbsp;<p><font face="Times New Roman">Program Co-Chairs: Margaret Martonosi, Princeton University; Adam Wolisz, TU Berlin <br>Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, SIGMOBILE, SIGARCH, SIGOPS, SIGMETRICS and SIGBED; with support from NSF.<br><br><b>Important dates:</b><br>
