Building Software for Sensor Networks

OOPSLA 2006 Workshop, Portland, Oregon, Oct. 22, 2006

This workshop follows a history of successful workshops at OOPSLA around
topics in software engineering for pervasive

systems. It is known to spawn fruitful and lively discussions from a variety
of participants from industry and academia.

Sensor networks and Pervasive Computing solutions offer the potential to
significantly change business processes,

across all industries. Computing and connectivity gets woven into everyday
life. Technologies in this

space are constantly changing. New wireless protocols, operating systems,
and new applications are emerging.

Architectures are very highly distributed and often influenced by physical
characteristics. The embedded functionality

needs to get complemented with corresponding back-end components and
services. This workshop

will bring together practitioners who have actively been involved in the
development of sensor networks and

pervasive computing solutions, researchers who have been working in this
area, and professionals who have

been involved in the definition of standards. The goals are (1) to identify
recurring architecture themes and

patterns, (2) to raise issues and identify gaps for implementation that need
to be resolved; and (3) to discuss

new ideas and changes to object technology to better support Sensor Networks
and Pervasive Computing

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the theory and practice of
pervasive sensor networks,

emerging standards, development methods, security and privacy, architecture,
infrastructure, middleware,

quality of service, energy efficiency, adaptability and learning, energy
conservation, peer-to-peer systems, mobile

agents, integration of heterogeneous components, application case studies,
experience reports, adaptation

and learning, alternative programming models such as Aspect- and
Ambient-Oriented Programming, modeling,

simulation, verification and testing.
