decimating data for more reliable and secure communication whilst performing 
more efficiently using less energy and number crunching.

This special issue aims at presenting innovative and signifi cant research 
papers on the design, implementation and evaluation of wireless sensors, 
especially for use of distributed intelligence and data fusion.

* applications and deployment of intelligence in sensor systems and distributed 
  data fusion
* sensor networking protocols and algorithms
* sensor network management protocol and systems
* cross-layer design and sensor network management protocols
* security of distributed intelligence in sensor networks
* inter-connection between distributed sensor systems
* testbed, experimental measurements & performance analysis
* systems for context sensing and context awareness
* tools and methodologies for sensory data fusion
* QoS provisioning protocols with data fusion technology
* collaborative in-network processing and data sharing
* use of Intelligence and data in energy harvesting

In the great digital era, we are witnessing many rapid
scientific and technological developments in human-centred,
seamless computing environments, interfaces, devices, and
systems with applications ranging from business and communication
to entertainment and learning. These developments are collectively
best characterized as Active Media Technology (AMT), a new area
of intelligent information technology and computer science that
emphasizes the proactive, seamless roles of interfaces and systems
as well as new media in all aspects of digital life. An AMT based
system offers services to enable the rapid design, implementation
and support of customized solutions.

The first International Conference on Active Media Technology
(AMT01) was held in Hong Kong in 2001, the second International
Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT04) was held in Chongqing,
China in May 29-31 of 2004, the third International Conference on
Active Media Technology (AMT05) was held in Kagawa, Japan in May
2005, the fourth International Conference on Active Media
Technology (AMT06) was held in Brisbane, Australia in June 7-9,
2006, and the fifth International Conference on Active Media
Technology (AMT09) was jointly held with the 2009
International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI 2009).
Following the success of AMT01, AMT04, AMT05, AMT06 and AMT09,
the Sixth International Conference on Active Media Technology
(AMT10) will be held in Toronto, Canada from August 28-30, 2010.

Active Media Technology 2010 will be jointly held with the 2010
International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI 2010).  The two
conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and
banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can
attend sessions, exhibits and demonstrations across the
two conferences.
