The 5th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '09) will take place on Marina Del Rey, California, USA during Sunday, June 7 - Wednesday, June 10, 2009.

DCOSS 2005 (Marina del Rey, California), DCOSS 2006 (San Francisco, California), DCOSS 2007 (Santa Fe, New Mexico), and DCOSS 2008 (Santorini Island, Greece) featured high quality research papers and interesting invited and contributed posters. DCOSS '09 is intended to cover several aspects of distributed computing in sensor systems such as high level abstractions, computational models, systematic design methodologies, algorithms, analysis and applications. The conference program this year will have three tracks: Algorithms & Performance Analysis, Applications & Systems, and Signal Processing & Information Theory.

The conference will be co-located with several closely related workshops, and will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their contributions related to the above high-level aspects of distributed sensor systems. In addition to contributed papers, the meeting will also include keynote addresses by leading researchers, a panel discussion, and a poster session.

Held in co-operation with
