Microsoft Research hosted a two-day sensor
networks workshop on Monday, October 10, 2005 and
Tuesday, October 11, 2005 in Woodinville, Washington.
The workshop was a two-day intensive mindswap event
between industrial and university researchers to
brainstorm about next-generation sensor networks and
their integration with Web services and other IT
infrastructures. The three focus areas of the workshop
were foundations that cover fundamental issues arising
from sensing, system architectures and programming;
services that address data management, service
composition, and interoperation; and platforms and
applications that examine what it takes to make sensor
networks a more practical platform solution for problems
arising from scientific research as well as from
consumer and business applications.
The goal of this workshop was to come together to better
understand the state of the art in these areas and
identify a key set of open research problems. The
workshop also helped identify areas for potential
collaborations among the participants. Attendees and
speakers included leading researchers with experiences in
designing, prototyping, and deploying sensor systems.
The workshop was structured to foster information
exchange and discussions among the participants by
having a healthy mixture of keynotes, presentations,
group discussions, and informal social events.
We hope that as a result of this meeting, all attendees have a better understanding of the open research
problems and sketch a path forward for the community to
collectively tackle these problems.
