    Force-directed approaches to sensor localization
    (SIAM, 2006) Efrat, Alon; Forrester, David; Iyer, Anand; Kobourov, Stephen G.; Erten, Cesim
    We consider the centralized, anchor-free sensor localization problem. We consider the case where the sensor network reports range information and the case where in addition to the range, we also have angular information about the relative order of each sensor's neighbors. We experimented with classic and new force-directed techniques. The classic techniques work well for small networks with nodes distributed in simple regions. However, these techniques do not scale well with network size and yield poor results with noisy data. We describe a new force-directed technique, based on a multi-scale dead-reckoning, that scales well for large networks, is resilient under range errors, and can reconstruct complex underlying regions.

    Colored simultaneous geometric embeddings
    (Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2007) Brandes, Ulrik; Erten, Cesim; Fowler, J. Joseph; Frati, Fabrizio; Geyer, Markus; Gutwenger, Carsten; Hong, Seok-Hee; Kaufmann, Michael; Kobourov, Stephen G.; Liotta, Giuseppe; Mutzel, Petra; Symvonis, Antonios
    We introduce the concept of colored simultaneous geometric embeddings as a generalization of simultaneous graph embeddings with and without mapping. We show that there exists a universal pointset of size n for paths colored with two or three colors. We use these results to show that colored simultaneous geometric embeddings exist for: (1) a 2-colored tree together with any number of 2-colored paths and (2) a 2-colored outerplanar graph together with any number of 2-colored paths. We also show that there does not exist a universal pointset of size n for paths colored with five colors. We finally show that the following simultaneous embeddings are not possible: (1) three 6-colored cycles, (2) four 6-colored paths, and (3) three 9-colored paths.
