Scope

In the past ten years, localization and geographic algorithms in Sensor Networks have been a hot-topic in research. Part of the work focused on distributed filtering techniques to get accurate positions, range-free localization procedure, construction of virtual coordinates systems, geographic routing algorithms, and so on. Indeed, localization is a useful building block for many applications like geographic routing, region monitoring, or tracking algorithms. In many applications it is argued that localization simplifies the implementations of real systems and helps building efficient distributed algorithms. Particularly striking recent examples of researches in this area deal with Greedy routing algorithms.

This workshop is the opportunity to gather scientists working on geographic systems, localization and geographic algorithms from the theoretical and practical point of views to present recent results and applications. Besides the presentation of new results one of the goals of this workshop is to ponder to which extent geographic information help in solving problems and whether these techniques are indeed practical.
