The third international workshop on Middleware for Sensor Networks (MidSens'08) will be co-located with Middleware2008 (1-5 December 2008) in Leuven, Belgium.

Middleware for sensor networks is a highly promising research domain which addresses key challenges that application developers are facing today. The two previous editions (MidSens'06 and MidSens'07) attracted researchers from Europe, Asia, and the United States. All workshop papers will be uploaded to the ACM Digital Library.

The aim of this workshop is to stimulate research in the specific domain of middleware for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), to collect current expertise, and to further refine and integrate different approaches. In particular, the workshop will investigate how middleware architectures can relieve programmers from the lowest level sensor details,while still enabling them to exploit a sensor node’s resource capabilities in the most optimal way. This workshop aims to trigger and guide research efforts to create an integrated middleware vision, which is required to handle the challenges inherent to developing and deploying complex sensor applications in an efficient way.
