Description for Decentralized Spatial Computing
Hardcover. This book covers the foundational concepts, structures and design techniques for decentralized computing with spatial and spatiotemporal information, applying these through a suite of increasingly sophisticated algorithms, and describing their application. Num Pages: 322 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RGW; UGC; UYQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 161 x 24. Weight in Grams: 694.
Computing increasingly happens somewhere, with that geographic location important to the computational process itself. Many new and evolving spatial technologies, such as geosensor networks and smartphones, embody this trend. Conventional approaches to spatial computing are centralized, and do not account for the inherently decentralized nature of "computing somewhere": the limited, local knowledge of individual system components, and the interaction between those components at different locations. On the other hand, despite being an established topic in distributed systems, decentralized computing is not concerned with geographical constraints to the generation and movement of information. In this context, of (centralized) spatial computing and ... Read more

Reviews for Decentralized Spatial Computing
“This book is an excellent summary on the topic of distributed spatial planning. … This book provides valuable insight in terms of working with sensor networks which are now arising around the world. … the concepts and discussions are useful and valuable to a wide ranging auidence. For this reason, anyone working with geosensors today will find this book well ... Read more
