The Third Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNets 2006) will be a focused workshop with a focus on groundbreaking research in wireless sensor systems. The emphasis is on three topic areas: (1) Emerging research directions for sensor networks; (2) Application experiences; and (3) Early results from new research efforts. The workshop program consists of 18 papers reporting on highly original or risky research, position papers, and reports on application experiences and deployments. In addition the program will feature three panel discussions and two keynote presentations.
