Spatial Queries in Sensor Networks Amir Soheili, Vana Kalogeraki, and Dimitrios Gunopulos   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Session 2: Sensor Networks Abstract Recent advances in low-power sensing devices coupled with the widespread availability of wireless ad-hoc networks have fueled the development of sensor networks. These are typically deployed over wide areas to gather data in the environment and monitor events of interest. The ability to run spatial queries is extremely useful for sensor networks. Spatial query execution has been extensively studied in the context of centralized spatial databases; however because of the energy and bandwidth limit ... ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
