   Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).

* 24 technical papers

* 29 Sensor network demos

* 19 Posters - representing early results and work-in-progress

* 2 one day workshops on emerging and important new topics in sensor
   networks. The workshops will be held the day prior to the main
   technical program

   + First Workshop on World-Sensor-Web: Mobile Device Centric Sensory
     Networks and Applications
