International Workshop on Theoretical and Algorithmic Aspects of Sensor, Ad Hoc Wireless, and Peer-to-Peer Networks

近年来，移动的计算得到了极大的普及，并已被应用于社会的各个部门。传感器网络、Ad hoc无线网络和对等网络（简称SAP网络）在新兴网络范式的发展中发挥着核心作用。这三种网络的特点是它们的自组织性质，没有基础设施或集中管理。与基础设施网络（包括蜂窝网络）不同，SAP网络中的节点通过集中的基站进行交互，SAP网络中的节点以对等方式进行交互。由于其节点的移动性（包括加入/离开网络），SAP网络的特征在于动态变化的拓扑。SAP网络的应用范围从民用（文件共享）到灾难恢复（搜索和救援）和军事（战场）。传感器，Ad hoc无线和对等网络的理论和数学方面的国际研讨会带来了三个相关领域的理论和算法方面的最新发展的国际论坛。 该研讨会旨在汇集不同的研究学科，就三个相关领域的理论和算法方法展开全面的技术讨论。 研讨会的目的是确定几个共同的理论和算法方法，可以解决与SAP网络有关的问题。研讨会的中心议题围绕着以下两个问题：SAP网络的核心技术问题是什么？有哪些可能的解决方案/工具可用于解决这些问题？在确定研究领域后，本次研讨会的下一个重点是未来的研究挑战。 该研讨会旨在通过理论研究人员和实践者（来自当地行业）的组合以及帮助促进合作来产生广泛的影响。我们相信，研讨会中研究主题的理论进展将对SAP网络产生长期影响。 研讨会的一个重要主题是研究与教育的融合。通过研究生的参与，特别是来自南佛罗里达地区大学的研究生的参与，解决了这个问题，这些大学的西班牙裔和黑人学生比例很高。

In recent years, mobile computing has enjoyed a tremendous risein popularity and has been used in various sectors of the society. Sensor networks, Ad hoc wireless networks, and Peer-to-peer networks (simply called SAP networks) play a central role in the development of emerging network paradigms. These three networks are characterized by their ad hoc nature without infrastructure or centralized administration.Unlike infrastructured networks, including cellular networks, where nodes interact through a centralized base station, nodes in an SAP networkinteract in a peer-to-peer fashion. As a result of the mobility (including join/leave the network) of their nodes, SAP networks are characterized by dynamically changing topologies. The applications of SAP networks range from civilian (file-sharing) to disaster recovery (search-and-rescue),and military (battlefield).The International Workshop on Theoretical and Algorithmic Aspects of Sensor, Ad hoc wireless, and Peer-to-peer Networks brings an international forum on the recent development on theoretical and algorithmic aspects of three related fields. The workshop seeks to bring together different research disciplinesto initiate a comprehensive technical discussion on theoretical and algorithmic approaches to three related fields. The objective of the workshop is to identify several common theoretical and algorithmic approaches that can address issues related to SAP networks. The central topic of the workshop revolves around the following two questions: What are the central technical issues in SAP networks? What are the possible solutions/toolsavailable to address these issues? After identifying areas for research, the next focus of this workshop is on future research challenges. This workshop seeks a broad impact through a mix of theoretical researchers and practitioners (from local industry) and by helping to stimulate collaborations. We believe that theoretical progress on the research topic in the workshop willhave a long-term impact on SAP networks. A major theme of the workshopis the integration of research and education. It is addressed through participation of graduate students, especially from regional universitiesin South Florida, which have a high percentage of Hispanic and Black students.
