This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third European Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks February 2006. The 21 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of one invited talk and two tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 133 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on query systems, sensor network services, routing, localization, platforms and development, medium access control, and measurements.

nd Welcome to the proceedings of PERVASIVE 2004, the 2 International C- ference on Pervasive Computing and the premier forum for the presentation and appraisal of the most recent and most advanced research results in all - undational and applied areas of pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Consi- ring the half-life period of technologies and knowledge this community is facing, PERVASIVE is one of the most vibrant, dynamic, and evolutionary among the computer-science-related symposia and conferences. The research challenges, e?orts, and contributions in pervasive computing have experienced a breathtaking acceleration over the past couple of years, mostly due to technological progress, growth, and a shift of paradigms in c- puter science in general. As for technological advances, a vast manifold of tiny, embedded, and autonomous computing and communication systems have st- ted to create and populate a pervasive and ubiquitous computing landscape, characterized by paradigms like autonomy, context-awareness, spontaneous - teraction, seamless integration, self-organization, ad hoc networking, invisible services, smart artifacts, and everywhere interfaces. The maturing of wireless networking, miniaturized information-processing possibilities induced by novel microprocessor technologies, low-power storage systems, smart materials, and technologies for motors, controllers, sensors, and actuators envision a future computing scenario in which almost every object in our everyday environment will be equipped with embedded processors, wireless communication facilities, and embedded software to perceive, perform, and control a multitude of tasks and functions.

Pervasive Computing

Heute sind es Computer und Handys, die miteinander vernetzt sind und den Informationszugriff immer und überall ermöglichen. Schon bald aber lassen sich kleinste, billige und über Funk miteinander kommunizierende Prozessoren und Sensoren in fast beliebige Dinge einbauen. "Smarte" Alltagsgegenstände können dann ihre Umgebung erfassen, haben Zugriff auf beliebige Ressourcen im Internet und wissen, wo sie sind und wer in der Nähe ist. Wie aber leben wir in einer solchen total informatisierten und vernetzten Welt? In diesem Buch kommen Wissenschaftler zu Wort, die auf dem Gebiet des ubiquitous computing arbeiten. Sie erläutern das Potential der allumfassenden Informatisierung und diskutieren mögliche Anwendungen und Auswirkungen.
