CALL FOR PAPERS 
 The 2006 IEEE International Workshop on
 Computer Architecture for Machine Perception and Sensing (CAMPS06)
 September 18-20, 2006
 Montreal, Canada
 
 CAMPS06 is a follow-up of the successful CAMP (Computer Architecture for
 Machine Perception) series of workshops initiated in Paris, CAMP91. The
 last one, CAMP05, took place in Palermo, Italy. The focus of this series
 is to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and government
 to present, discuss and brainstorm the challenges; present and future,
 in the field of machine perception, including sensing. 
 
 This year, sensing is at the forefront of the workshop to accommodate
 the recent and emerging developments in the areas of sensors and sensor
 networks. The name of the workshop has been modified to reflect this
 focus; the 2006 IEEE International Workshop on Computer Architecture for
 Machine Perception and Sensing, CAMPS06. 
 
 CAMPS06 will provide a forum of discussion of new developments,
 innovations, and emerging technologies, of new paradigms in design,
 construction, deployment and evaluation of perception and sensing
 architectures and systems. Topics covered by the workshop include, but
 not limited to, the following:
  Smart sensors and sensor fusion
  Sensor tasking and control
  Networked sensing and control
  In-network processing and aggregation
  Sensor network coverage, connectivity and longevity
  Data storage in sensor networks
  Data security in sensor networks
  Configurable and FPGA-based perception architectures
  VLSI Architectures in Perception (including co-design, low power etc.)
  Parallel architectures and algorithms for machine perception
  Real-time embedded systems (re-configurable, heterogeneous etc.)
  Grid computing applied to perception
  Neural network and genetic algorithm applications in perception
  Rule-based systems, learning and knowledge-based perception machines
  Design methodology for perception systems
  Wearable computers
  Special purpose architectures: mobile robots, remote sensing, biomedical
  Network protocols for sensor networks
 
 The workshop will comprise invited talks and oral presentations and
 poster session. submissions may be Full and short papers,
 posters/demonstrations, panels. All submissions are subject to a blind
 refereeing process. 
 
 Paper Submission and Deadlines: Authors are invited to submit a PDF
 version of their papers to the web based submission site, as described
 on the workshop website. Submissions should be no more then six pages
 long. The cover page should include (1) title, (2) authors and
 affiliation, (3) e-mail address of the contact authors, (4) an abstract
 describing the contributions, and (5) body of the paper. Due dates are:
