The 2006 International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems
(DCOSS '06) will take place in San Francisco during June 18 - 20, 2006.
DCOSS '06 will represent a merger of the DCOSS conference series and the
IEEE International Workshops on Algorithms for Wireless, Mobile, Ad Hoc and
Sensor Networks (WMAN). The first DCOSS conference, held at Marina del Rey on
June 30-July 1, 2005, featured high quality research papers and interesting
invited and contributed poster/presentation sessions.  DCOSS '06 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.
