Following the successful first Workshop, IPSN'03 will bring together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent work on information processing techniques and applications for sensor networks.

Information processing in sensor networks is an interdisciplinary research area with deep connections to signal processing, networking and protocols, databases and information management, as well as distributed algorithms. The workshop has assembled a set of high-quality papers spanning these topics -- 21 oral presentations and 23 poster presentations. It will be an excellent forum for people from these disciplines to converge on the principles, architectures, algorithms and protocols for sensor networks and applications.

Palo Alto is beautiful in late April, with dry and temperate weather averaging 65-75F, and lunch on the PARC patio and the conference banquet at a local winery should provide a very pleasant background for good discussions.
