Geometric Approaches to Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

研讨会于2006年5月25日至25日在圣巴巴拉的加州大学举行。它作为一个论坛的研究领导人从计算几何和拓扑学的一方，传感器和ad hoc网络的另一方，讨论这些学科的接口问题。通过汇集来自这些领域的专家，本次研讨会有助于更全面地了解这些领域之间可能的合作领域和途径，通过使通常不见面的研究人员之间进行面对面的互动，并为今后在传感器网络的几何方面的研究和利用方面的共同努力制定议程。研讨会的成果将广泛地通过互联网传播，附有谈话摘要和提出的问题清单。研讨会报告的一个版本也将发表在技术期刊上，在感兴趣的社区中广泛发行，如ACM的通信，ACM传感器网络交易或IEEE网络交易。

The workshop takes place at the University of California, Santa Barbara, during May 25-25, 2006. It serves as a forum for research leaders from computational geometry and topology on the one side, and sensor and ad hoc networks on the other, to discuss problems at the interface of these disciplines. By bringing together experts from these areas, this workshop helps provide a fuller understanding of possible areas and avenues of collaboration between these fields, to stimulate cross-disciplinary research by enabling face-to-face interactions between researchers that do not normally meet, and to generate a agenda for future joint efforts in the study and exploitation of the geometric aspects of sensor networks.The results of the workshop will be widely disseminated by means of the internet, with talk abstracts and a list of problems and issues raised. A version of the workshop report will also be published in technical journals with wide distribution in the communities of interest, such as the Communications of the ACM, the ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks, or the IEEE Transactions on Networking.
