Challenges and Opportunities
in Distributed Sensor Networks

March 9-10, 2006

Best Western Hilltop House Hotel
Los Alamos, New Mexico  USA

Distributed sensor networks are a new fast developing technology that promises to revolutionize our ability to sense environments, natural and social, over unprecedented spatial and temporal scales. Creating autonomous, collaborative, and robust computation across a large set of small computing devices pushes to the limit current models of artificial intelligence, machine learning, control theory, decision theory, and distributed computing. It also brings to the fore current topics of research that connect the form and function of complex networks.

This workshop will bring together a selected group of experts across several disciplines to discuss the current state of the technology, proposed computational strategies, issues of data assimilation, and the challenges and opportunities posed by the most promising applications of this technology.
