It is our great pleasure to welcome you all to the 7th International Workshop on Data Management for Sensor Networks (DMSN'10), which takes place in Singapore on September 13, 2010. The annual DMSN workshop is a leading international forum that covers all important aspects of sensor data management, including data acquisition, processing, and storage in remote wireless networks; the handling of uncertain sensor data; and the management of heterogeneous and sometimes sensitive sensor data in databases. It brings together a wide range of researchers, practitioners, and users to explore and share scientific and industrial challenges that arise in the aforementioned contexts. We hope you find the workshop academically stimulating and the location interesting and enjoyable.

One of our main objectives was to bring forward an exciting research program, spanning both predominant and emerging fields in data management for sensor networks. DMSN'10 received 10 submissions for research papers, out of those we accepted only 6 papers. The accepted papers were thematically organized in the following categories: Data Provenance, Query Processing, Mobile Sensor Networks and Outlier Detection in Sensor Networks. In addition to research contributions, DMSN'10 features an exciting keynote talk by Prof. Kian-Lee Tan (National University of Singapore, Singapore), with title: "What's NExT? Sensor + Cloud!?" Finally, the program also features a panel discussion with title "Future Directions in Sensor Data Management: A Panel Discussion", with panelists Dr. Yanlei Diao (University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA), Prof. Le Gruenwald (National Science Foundation, USA), Prof. Christian S. Jensen (Aarhus University) and Prof. Kian-Lee Tan (National University of Singapore, Singapore)

Besides authors that provided the content of the program, several other people have contributed to the successful organization of DMSN'10. In particular, we would like to thank our technically and geographically diverse Technical Program Committee (TPC), which enabled us to make high quality decisions. Our TPC comprised of 32 members that spanned the following continents: North America (50%), Europe (31%) and Asia (19%). Our TPC board came from both Academia (87%) and Industrial Research Labs (13%). We owe our sincere gratitude to all of these members for their excellent work in reviewing the papers and providing valuable feedback under a tight schedule. Every paper was reviewed at least by 3 TPC members. We would like to thank Microsoft for granting us permission to use the Microsoft Conference Management System (CMT) and the entire CMT support team, for their help in setting up and managing the online review process. The latest features in CMT made it extremely easy to cope with virtually all aspects of the paper evaluation process.
