DESCRIPTION:We present analyses concerning the systemic behaviour under an
  idealised noise and terrain obstacle model. We first show that mobility d
 oes not necessarily imporve network performance but actually trade volatil
 ity and performance. We then give general systemic behaviour due to stocha
 stic geometry results and conditions to recover connectivity and hedge aga
 inst volatility. Last\, we discuss the topological implication over time i
 n the presence of obstacles.\n\nIt is our belief that given understanding 
 of the general behaviour\, we can then design probabilistic streaming algo
 rithms which handles uncertainty and incomplete information with at guaran
 tees. Inputs from stream database\, multi-sensory fusion\, and networking 
 people are highly appreciated.
