SenseApp 2012 Welcome Message from the SenseApp Chairs The Seventh International IEEE Workshop on Practical Issues in Building Sensor Network Applications (SenseApp 2012) was held in Clearwater, Florida, USA, in conjunction with the 37th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2012). In its seventh year the workshop attracted 50 submissions from 23 different countries. Each paper went through a rigorous peer review process, with each submission receiving at least 3 reviews from members of the Technical Program Committee, composed of 18 domain experts from 13 countries, as well as from external reviewers. Based on the referee reports, 10 regular papers and 3 short papers were accepted for presentation at the workshop. We believe that the accepted papers provide interesting results and insights on the use of wireless sensor networks in practical applications as well as valuable reports on experiences in deploying such systems. In addition to the technical papers, the workshop program included an exciting keynote address by Dr. Andreas Terzis on "Wireless Health Care: Three Stories from the Field" in using Wireless Sensor Networks in the health care application domain, which was supported by the LOEWE Cocoon project (www.cocoon.tu-darmstadt.de). We would like to thank all the people who worked hard to make this workshop a success. First and foremost we would like to express our gratitude to all the members of the Technical Program Committee and the reviewers for their diligent effort in providing high quality reviews in a timely manner. We would also like to thank the LCN 2012 Organizing Committee and the SenseApp 2012 Steering Committee for their help and support. Special thanks are due to Nils Aschenbruck, LCN Workshop Chair, Tom Pfeifer, LCN General Chair and Ken Christensen, LCN Local Organization Chair for their help and guidance over the past few months. Last but not least, we would like to thank the authors for choosing to submit their publications to SenseApp 2012.
