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.
