DCOSS 2005 will take place in Marina del Rey during June 30 - July 1, 2005.

The conference 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/presentation session.

Marina del Rey, a beach side community, is the home of the world's largest man-made harbor. The meeting venue can be easily reached from the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Most of the world famous attractions of the greater Los Angeles area -- including the Santa Monica mountains, the Getty Center, Hollywood, Venice Beach, Disneyland, and Universal Studios can be easily reached from the Marina.
