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

NEW THIS MONTH! | MAI'2008 |
| Title: | 2nd Workshop on Middleware-Application Interaction |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-04-15 |
| Webpage: | http://mai08.di.fc.ul.pt |
| Dates: | June, 3, 2008 |
| Location: | Oslo, Norway, Co-Located at DisCoTec conferences |
| Contact Email: | hans@di.fc.ul.pt |
| Synopsis: |
| There is a rising demand for middleware support for cross-cutting features such as security, fault tolerance, and distributed resource management. In adaptive systems, the middleware has to exert control on applications, and vice versa. Middleware systems need the right access to applications running on top; applications need the right way for influencing middleware behaviour. MAI'2008 aims at providing researchers with a forum for discussing the state of the art of middleware-application interaction and for identifying challenging open problems. The goal of the workshop is to bring together active researchers in the different fields that relate to the workshop topic. |

Middleware 2008 | |
| Title: | ACM/IFIP/USENIX 9th International Middleware Conference |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2008-04-23 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-04-30 |
| Webpage: | http://middleware2008.cs.kuleuven.be/ |
| Dates: | December 1-5, 2008 |
| Location: | Leuven, Belgium |
| Contact Email: | Davy.Preuveneers@cs.kuleuven.be |
| Synopsis: |
| The Middleware conference is a forum for the discussion of important innovations and recent advances in the design, construction and uses of middleware. Middleware is distributed-systems software that resides between the applications and the underlying operating systems, network protocol stacks, and hardware. Its primary role is to functionally bridge the gap between application programs and the lower-level hardware and software infrastructure in order to coordinate how application components are connected and how they interoperate. |
