The first International Workshop on Middleware for Sensor Networks (MidSens'06) will take place on November 28 in Melbourne, Australia. MidSens'06 is co-located with the Middleware 2006 conference.

The aim of this workshop is to stimulate research in the specific domain of middleware for sensor networks, to collect current expertise, and to further refine and integrate different approaches. In particular, we will investigate how middleware architectures can relieve programmers from the lowest level sensor details, while still enabling them to exploit a sensor's resource capabilities in the most optimal way. This workshop wants to trigger and guide research efforts to create an integrated middleware vision, which is required to handle the challenges inherent to developing and deploying complex sensor applications in an efficient way.
