We invite you to participate in the 4th International Workshop on Data Management
for Sensor Networks (DMSN'07). This workshop is the fourth in a series of successful
workshops that aim to bring together researchers working on all aspects of sensor
data management: from data processing in networks of remote, wireless, resource-
constrained sensors to managing heterogeneous, noisy, and sometimes sensitive sensor
data in databases. The resource-constrained, lossy, noisy, distributed, and remote
nature of sensor networks means that traditional database techniques often cannot
be applied without significant re-tooling. Challenges associated with acquiring and
processing large-scale, heterogeneous sets of live sensor data also call for novel
data management techniques. Finally, in many applications, collecting sensor data
raises important privacy and security concerns that require new protection and
anonymization techniques.

DMSN'07 is colocated with VLDB 2007 and is sponsored by Intel Corporation.

You can register for the workshop and obtain hotel information through
