                   DCOSS 2005 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
                   =================================

DCOSS 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 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.

DCOSS 05 received 85 high quality submissions, of which 26 were accepted, as a
result of a thorough review by the Program Committee.
