International
Workshop on Theoretical and Algorithmic Aspects of Sensor, Project Summary Theoretical and algorithmic
approaches to address key issues in Sensor networks, Ad hoc wireless
networks, and Peertopeer networks (simply called SAP networks) have
played 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 network interact in a peertopeer
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 (filesharing)
to disaster recovery (searchandrescue), and military (battlefield). The purpose of the present
proposal is to seek funding to support the International Workshop on
Theoretical and Algorithmic Aspects of Sensor, Ad hoc wireless, and
Peer-to-peer
Networks. The main goal of this workshop is to bring an international
forum on the recent development on theoretical and algorithmic aspects of
three related fields. Intellectual Merit: The workshop seeks to bring
together different research disciplines to initiate a comprehensive
technical discussion on theoretical and algorithmic approaches to three
related fields: sensor networks, ad hoc wireless networks, and
peer-to-peer
networks. 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/tools
available to address these issues? After identifying areas for research,
the next focus of this workshop is on future research challenges. Broader Impact: 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 will have
a longterm impact on SAP networks.
