SCOPE
Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have recently become a very active
research subject due to their high potential of providing diverse
services to numerous important applications, including remote
monitoring and tracking in environmental applications and low
maintenance ambient intelligence in everyday life. The effective and
efficient realization of such large scale, complex ad-hoc networking
environments requires intensive, coordinated technical research and
development efforts, especially in power aware, scalable, robust
wireless distributed protocols, due to the unusual application
requirements and the severe resource constraints of the sensor devices.
On the other hand, a solid foundational background seems necessary for
sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is a challenge for
abstract modeling, algorithmic design and analysis to achieve provably
efficient, scalable and fault-tolerant realizations of such huge,
highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networks. Features including
the extremely large number of sensor devices in the network, the
severe power, computing and memory limitations, their dense, random
deployment and frequent failures, pose new interesting abstract
modeling, algorithmic design, analysis and implementation challenges
of great practical impact.
This Workshop aims to bring together research contributions related
to diverse algorithmic and complexity theoretic aspects of wireless
sensor networks. This is the third event in the series. ALGOSENSORS
2004 was held in Turku, Finland, ALGOSENSORS 2006 was held in Venice,
Italy. Since its beginning ALGOSENSORS is collocated with ICALP.

PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will be published in full text in a hardcopy
Proceedings by the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series of
Springer Verlag.
We are going to have post-proceedings i.e. authors will have the
opportunity to revise their papers in the light of the discussion at
the event and then submit their camera ready files by the end of
August.
Pre-proceedings will be available during the workshop for the
participants.
TCS JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE
Selected high quality papers will be considered for publication in
a Special Issue on Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks of
the Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) Journal.
**************************************************************************
PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original research
in the topics related to the workshop. Simultaneous submission to
other conferences is not allowed.
Papers should not exceed twelve (12) pages of text using at least 11
point size type, including references, figures, tables, etc.,
preferably formated in the LNCS style. Additional material may be
added at a clearly marked Appendix to be read at the discretion of
the Program Committee Members.
Authors must submit their papers electronically via Web page:
http://algosensors2007.im.pwr.wroc.pl/html/submission.php
All papers will be peer reviewed and comments will be provided to
the authors.
Authors need to make sure that for each accepted paper at least one
author will attend the workshop.
