Geometric Approaches to Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

研讨会于2006年5月25日至25日在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校举行。它是一个论坛，一方面是计算几何和拓扑学的研究领袖，另一方面是传感器和自组织网络的研究领袖，讨论这些学科交界处的问题。通过将这些领域的专家聚集在一起，这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，通过使通常不会见面的研究人员之间进行面对面的互动来促进跨学科研究，并为今后在研究和利用传感器网络的几何方面的共同努力制定一个议程。研讨会的结果将通过互联网广泛传播，并提供谈话摘要和提出的问题和问题清单。讲习班报告的一个版本还将在有关社区广泛发行的技术期刊上发表，如《ACM通讯》、《ACM传感器网络汇刊》或IEEE《网络汇刊》。

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.
