A SensorWeb - an Internet enabled collection of heterogeneous networked
sensing systems such as sensor networks - can provide real-time and 
historical information representing situations, contexts and changes 
in the real world. There are great potentials, if people are able to 
query and search such information resources. Also, inter-networking 
technologies and information integration utilizing the world-wide-web 
may allow combining geographical querying techniques and web search 
engines in order to approach an integrated real-world search engine.

This workshop aims to discuss advanced technologies on SensorWebs, 
databases and data mining in order to tap new information resources 
provided by networked sensing systems and make them useable in a large
variety of application contexts. We invite technical papers about 
networked sensing systems, databases and data mining for spatial and
temporal information and discuss technical issues on integrating sensor
networks, databases and Internet technologies. The workshop will focus 
on data-driven and data-centric aspects of networked sensing systems 
rather than sensor devices and hardware architectures. Original papers 
on database and network technologies, e.g. sensor data, stream data, 
time-series data, geographic information and web information, are welcome.

Topics of interest (but not limited to):

    * Sensor databases: managing, archiving and searching sensing data
    * Spatial and temporal databases for networked sensing system
    * Query processing architecture for spatial and temporal data
    * Mining, aggregation and integration of spatial and temporal data
    * Stream data processing and mining
    * Data representation and query description language for networked sensing system
    * Overlay network and P2P technologies for networked sensing system
    * Integration of heterogeneous sensor networks
    * Software architectures for sensor networks and databases
    * Networked sensing system for mobile and ubiquitous computing
    * Text mining, language processing, information extraction on the Web
    * Sensor data integration, mapping and visualization
    * Sensor web enablement and standardization
    * Location-based services and geographic information systems (SensorGIS)
    * Experiences on the deployment and experiments of sensor networks

Submissions:

Authors are requested to submit original papers of no more than 8 pages 
(standard Springer LNCS format), including figures, tables, and references
in PDF that include contact information of all the authors. Please mail 
your submission to swdmnss2007@osoite.jp. Paper will be peer-reviewed and 
selected papers will appear in the workshop proceedings and will be 
published as technical report. The best papers will be invited for a 
special issue of the Personal and Ubiquitous Computing Journal (PUC).
