Homological Methods for Sensor Network Integrity

Abstract

We have investigated applications of homological methods to coordinate free sensor networks. Specifically, we considered ways to compute global signatures for behaviors observed by a sensor network over time without specific coordinate information. This report gives a high level description of the homological methods we employed, previous experiments on sensor network integrity and topological signatures, and a summary of our most recent work. We found that work on the analysis of scalar fields can be applied directly to the setting of homological sensor networks. This provides a pipeline which first verifies coverage of a domain by a network, then computes a topological signature.
