A General theory of Signal Integration for Fault-Tolerant Dynamic Distributed Sensor Networks
Abstract
The computational issues related to information integration in multisensor systems and distributed sensor networks has become an active area of research. In recent years a number of significant advances in the field of sensor integration have been made. This interest in the development of Distributed Sensor Networks (DSNs) for information gathering has partly emerged because of (a) the availability of new technology which makes the DSNs economically feasible to implement and (b) the increasing complexity of today's information gathering tasks to which they are applied. From a computational veiwpoint, the efficient extraction of information from noisy and fault signals emanating from many sensors requires the solution of problems related to (a) the architecture and fault-tolerance of the distributed sensor network, (b) the proper synchronisation of sensor signals, (c) the integration of information to keep the communication and the processing requirements small, and (d) the design of efficient computational techniques to abstractly represent and integrate sensor information
