Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

This book constitutes the reviewed proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks, ALGOSENSORS 2008, held in Reykjavik, Iceland, Wroclaw, Poland, July 12, 2008. The workshops aimed at bringing together research contributions related to diverse algorithmic and complexity-theoretic aspects of wireless sensor networks. The topics include but are not limited to optimization problems, noise and probability, robots and tours.

Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks are a very active research subject, as they have highpotentialtoprovidediverseservicestonumerousimportantapplications,- cluding remote monitoring and tracking in environmental applications and low-maintenance ambient intelligence in everyday life. The e?ective and e?cient realizationofsuchlarge-scale,complexad-hocnetworkingenvironmentsrequires intensive, coordinated technical research and development e?orts, especially in power-aware, scalable, robust wireless distributed protocols, due to the unusual applicationrequirementsandthesevereresourceconstraintsofthesensordevices. On the other hand, a solid foundational backgroundseems necessary for s- sornetworkstoachievetheirfullpotential.Itisachallengeforabstractmodeling, algorithmic design and analysis to achieve provably e?cient, scalable and fau- tolerant realizations of such huge, highly dynamic, complex, non-conventional networks. Features including the extremely large number of sensor devices in the network, the severe power, computing and memory limitations, their dense, random deployment and frequent failures pose new, interesting challenges of great practical impact for abstract modeling, algorithmic design, analysis and implementation. This workshop aimed at bringing together research contributions related to diversealgorithmicandcomplexity-theoreticaspectsofwirelesssensornetworks.
