GeoSensor Networks : CRC Press : 9780415324045 : 0415324041 : 30 Aug 2004 : GeoSensor Networks addresses multiple research challenges related to real-time geosensor data collection, management, analysis, and delivery. It examines these issues in a collection of papers submitted by experts in diverse research domains. Providing a cross-disciplinary forum that will foster collaboration and development, this volume has four sections, each of which represents a major aspect of geosensor networks: databases; image processing; computer networks; and applications. Combined, these papers deliver an excellent snapshot of the state-of-the-art in these fields, and offer a thoughtful and balanced evaluation of the potential and emerging challenges of these networks.
