Preface

This volume serves as the post-conference proceedings for the Second GeoSensor

Networks Conference that was held in Boston, Massachusetts in October 2006. The

conference addressed issues related to the collection, management, processing, analy-

sis, and delivery of real-time geospatial data using distributed geosensor networks.

This represents an evolution of the traditional static and centralized geocomputational

paradigm, to support the collection of both temporally and spatially high-resolution,

up-to-date data over a broad geographic area, and to use sensor networks as actuators

in geographic space. Sensors in these environments can be static or mobile, and can be

used to passively collect information about the environment or, eventually, to actively

influence it.

The research challenges behind this novel paradigm extend the frontiers of tradi-

tional GIS research further into computer science, addressing issues like data stream

processing, mobile computing, location-based services, temporal-spatial queries over

geosensor networks, adaptable middleware, sensor data integration and mining, auto-

mated updating of geospatial databases, VR modeling, and computer vision. In order

to address these topics, the GSN 2006 conference brought together leading experts in

these fields, and provided a three-day forum to present papers and exchange ideas.

The papers included in this volume are select publications, corresponding to ex-

tended versions of papers presented at the conference, and a few additional invited

contributions; all papers went through a rigorous refereeing process. More information

about the scientific background of geosensor networks in general and of the papers

included in this volume in particular may be found in the Introduction chapter.

We greatly appreciate the many people who made this happen. Specifically, we

would like to acknowledge the support of NSF, through the Sensor Science Engineer-

ing and Informatics (SSEI) IGERT program at the University of Maine (DGE-

0504494), and especially Kate Beard, the principal investigator. We would also like to

thank the University of Maine and the University of Pittsburgh for their support. From

the University of Pittsburgh, we would especially like to thank George Klinzing, the

Vice Provost for Research for his support of the GSN 2006 conference. We would

also like to acknowledge the support of StreamBase. Last, but not least, we would like

to thank everybody that helped in the organization of the GSN 2006 conference and

the production of this volume. In particular, we would like to thank Blane Shaw, the

authors and the participants of the conference, the Program Committee members and

the Springer staff for their help.
