Welcome to the 3rd ACM SenSys Conference! The process of putting together the SenSys technical program was a challenging one. There were 118 high-quality submissions this year with authors from 65 different institutions in at least 12 countries. The program committee selected 21 papers, which we've grouped into 7 sessions. We believe that you will find the program and talks exciting and thought-provoking!All submissions to SenSys 2005 underwent a rigorous double-blind review process by members of the program committee and over 100 external reviewers from the community (whose names are listed in these proceedings). Our program committee comprised some of the leading researchers in the field, and we intentionally picked a relatively small committee to foster broad participation at the PC meeting. We strongly encouraged the PC to emphasize innovation and depth of contribution over perfect execution in evaluating each paper. Our aim was to include as many thought-provoking papers as we could.Cumulatively, the PC and the many external reviewers generated 482 reviews. The median number of reviews per paper was 4, with some papers receiving as many as 6 reviews. The culmination of the review process was the PC meeting held at MIT on June 24, 2005. The result of this intense, sometimes contentious, but always cordial meeting was a selection of 21 high-quality papers. All papers were shepherded by a member of the PC to ensure that any significant concerns raised by the reviewers or the PC were addressed satisfactorily.SenSys 2005 features a single-track technical program that spans the areas of system software and support, networking, infrastructure services, design tools and frameworks, applications, and deployment experiences. The technical program also features a poster session showcasing works-in-progress, a demo session showcasing working systems, and two exciting invited talks by John Delaney from the University of Washington and Henry Tirri from Nokia. These talks will provide a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in systems research in sensor networks, and describe important application areas and promising research directions.
