About the WorkshopNetworked sensors and actuators, with embedded computational capabilities, have emerged as an important paradigm for a new generation of monitoring and control applications. These systems have a strong geometric character because the devices are embedded in the physical world and their sensed data are highly correlated with their physical locations. Motivated by the inter-disciplinary nature of research issues in sensor networks, this workshop brings together a mix of leading researchers from computational geometry, robotics, and topology on one side and sensor and ad hoc networks on the other to discuss future research challenges in the design, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these systems. Through lectures and discussions, the workshop provides the participants a forum to stimulate cross disciplinary research and generate an agenda for future joint efforts in the study and exploitation of geometric aspects of sensor networks. Workshop ReportsThe main findings and recommendations of the workshop are described in the following executive summary as well as a more technically oriented full report.People
