Geo-registers: An Abstraction for Spatial-Based Distributed Computing

In this work we present an abstraction that allows a set of distributed processes, aware of their respective positions in space, to collectively maintain information associated with an area in the physical world. This abstraction is a logical object shared between participating processes that provides two operations, namely read and write.
