--- C A L L F O R P A P E R S --- 3rd International Workshop on Data Management for Sensor Networks (DMSN'06) (held in conjunction with VLDB 2006) September 11, 2006, Seoul, KOREA http://db.cs.pitt.edu/dmsn06 WORKSHOP AIM The workshop will focus on the challenges of data processing and management in networks of remote, wireless, battery-powered sensing devices (sensor networks). The power-constrained, lossy, noisy, distributed, and remote nature of such networks means that traditional data management techniques often cannot be applied without significant re-tooling. Furthermore, new challenges associated with acquisition and processing of live sensor data mean that completely new database techniques must also be developed. TOPICS OF INTEREST We will solicit papers that address all aspects of data management in sensor networks. Particular emphasis will be given to the following topics, as they relate to sensor networks: * data replication and consistency in noisy and lossy environments * database languages for sensor tasking * distributed data storage and indexing * energy-efficient data acquisition and dissemination * in-network query processing * integration of sensor network data into traditional and streaming data management systems * networking support for data processing * techniques for managing loss, uncertainty, and noise * query optimization * privacy protection for sensory data Submitted papers must not have been published or currently be under consideration for publication at another venue. We are primarily interested in position papers, vision papers, system designs and papers that address new challenges for data management in sensor network environments. As such, we expect that the submitted papers will have a strong network component and go beyond traditional database systems. Questions about the conference scope should be directed to the program co-chairs at dmsn06@cs.pitt.edu. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission: Wed, Jun 7, 2006 (midnight EST) Paper submission: Wed, Jun 14, 2006 (midnight EST) Notification: Mon, Jul 17, 2006 Early Registration: Sun, Jul 30, 2006 Camera-ready due: Mon, Aug 07, 2006 Workshop: Mon, Sep 11, 2006 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS All submissions will be handled electronically. More details are posted on the web site, http://db.cs.pitt.edu/dmsn06 Full papers in PDF format must be submitted by June 14, 2006 (midnight Eastern Standard Time). Papers should be in the ACM Proceedings camera ready format (double-column, at most 6 pages in 9pt font). The format of your submission must be for US "Letter" size paper (8.5 by 11 inches). Please note that A4 is not equivalent to US "Letter" size. See http://db.cs.pitt.edu/dmsn06 for more details and a link to the ACM Proceedings template. Questions about the submission process should be directed to the program co-chairs at dmsn06@cs.pitt.edu. WORKSHOP FORMAT Our goal is to fill an important gap in the community by bringing interested database researchers together to identify future research challenges and opportunities. As such, the workshop will be organized in a way to foster interaction and exchange of ideas among the participants. For this reason we expect to have longer than usual Q & A periods after paper presentations and at least one panel discussion. ORGANIZATION General Chairs: Alexandros Labrinidis and Samuel R.
