This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems, DCOSS 2007, held in Sante Fe, NM, USA in June 2007. It covers algorithms, applications, and systems. It bridges the gap between theory and practice and between the broader field of distributed computing and the specific issues arising in sensor networks and related systems.
