The editors (both of the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, U. of Maine) loosely define a geosensor network as a network that monitors phenomenon in geographic space and "may range in scale from the confined environment of a room to the highly complex dynamics of a large ecosystem." They present 15 papers from the first GeoSensor Networks workshop (held in Portland, ME, in October 2003), representing contributions from such research areas as spatial information modeling, robotics and digital image analysis, mobile computing, operating systems, database management, and environmental applications. These research papers examine such topics as synthetic data generation to support irregular sampling in sensor networks, generation and applications of virtual landscape models for location-based servers, and approximate query answering on sensor network data streams. Also explored are a trio of geospatial applications of sensor networks. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
