================================

The First European TinyOS Technology Exchange
http://sites.google.com/site/ettx2009

Cork, Ireland, February 10, 2009, collocated with EWSN 2009

*Sponsored by the Cooperating Objects Network of Excellence (CONET)*


Aim and Scope
=============

The TinyOS Technology Exchange (TTX), traditionally held in the USA,
is a yearly venue where developers, users, and companies involved in
low-power wireless sensing get together to talk about recent
developments and future directions of the TinyOS platform and the
related technologies.

To foster a broader European TinyOS community, we are launching a
companion event In Europe with the same format.

*The First European TinyOS Technology Exchange (ETTX 2009)* will take
place in Cork, Ireland, on February 10, 2009, collocated with EWSN
2009, the largest sensor networks conference in Europe.

The TinyOS Alliance Steering Committee encourages anyone who is
interested in, using, exploring or advancing TinyOS-based technologies
to attend.


Program Highlights
==================

* TinyOS 2.x overview and tutorial by Philip Levis (Stanford)
* Reports from the TinyOS Working Groups
* Community Contributions Session
* Keynote talk by David Culler (UCB/Arch Rock)
* Open Floor Discussion on the future of TinyOS
* Demo and Poster Session


Call for Submissions
====================

The focus of the ETTX is ultimately on the TinyOS community, its
innovations, and its work; so there is also going to be a lot of
opportunity for active participation:

Community Contributions Session
-------------------------------

The session will continue the process started at the previous TTX
events with three-slide, five- minute presentations from members of the
community describing work they've done and which others can use. All
you need to do is bring your slides and get up to the
microphone. Contributions to any version of TinyOS are welcome.

For longer slots, please send a one page abstract as a PDF e-mail
attachment to "ettx2009 [AT] googlegroups.com" with the subject line
reading "Contributions Submission" before the January 31, 2009,
deadline. Accepted abstracts will be posted and maintained on the ETTX
2009 website.

Demo and Poster Session
-----------------------

If you've built a new application, a new platform, have new technology
or new research ideas that you want to demonstrate to the TinyOS
community, this is a great forum for doing so.

Please submit a one page abstract of your demo or poster as a PDF
e-mail attachment to: "ettx2009 [AT] googlegroups.com" with the
subject line reading "Demo Submission" or "Poster Submission" before
the January 31, 2009, deadline. The abstract should include a short
description of space and equipment requirements. Accepted abstracts
will be posted and maintained on the ETTX 2009 website.

Note that there is a *25 EUR surcharge per demo/poster* that can be
payed via the registration site.
