Geosensor networks shift the traditional centralized paradigm of
monitoring a geographical area from the macroscale to the microscale,
by using distributed sensors to measure variables of interest (such as
environmental, biological and chemical variables, seismic activity and
geolocated videofeeds). Whilst having the ability to provide data with
unparalleled temporal and spatial resolution, geosensor networks have
pushed the frontiers of traditional GIS research into the realms of
computer science, introducing issues such as data fusion, geolocated
queries, energy efficient data collection and data mining and
interpretation. The incorporation of mobile devices into these
networks allows data acquisition to be undertaken on a spatially
varying sampling resolution, introducing new research avenues such as
co-operative sensing and dynamic coverage. Furthermore, geosensor
networks are not only constrained to passively monitor a region,
through actuators, they also have the ability to influence or modify
their environment.
Research in geosensor networks spans multiple fields, ranging from
strategies for intelligent data acquisition to virtual reality
interactions with environmental dynamics. Of particular interest are
applications of geosensor networks, such as environmental monitoring,
precision agriculture, early warning systems and wildlife tracking.
This workshop seeks to address these issues, by bringing together
leading experts in a two day forum to present novel research and
exchange ideas relating to the state of the art and its future
directions. Real world results are particularly welcomed, as are
reports of interesting or challenging deployments.
