12:30 14:00 Lunch
14:00 15:30 Break-out sessions
Attendees can elect to join one of the Tracks. A uniform contribution across Tracks is desirable. Ideally, the group would discuss the selected topic and identify key issues and/or solutions for further research.
Track 1: Dynamic reconfigurability
Track 2: Virtualization
Track 3: QoS in sensor middleware
15:30 16:00 Coffee break
16:00 17:00 Session 4: State-of-the-art and key research challenges for sensor middleware
20' A Survey of Middleware for Sensor Networks: State-of-the-art and Future Directions (K. Henrickson, R. Robinson)
40' Moderated discussion
An elected representative from each Track will deliver a summary of the discussion on the selected topic, potentially contributing to the MidSens research roadmap going forward and helping identify focus areas for future workshops.
17:00 17:30 Closing session
