Measuring and Ensuring Performance and Information Quality in Multi-Agent Sensor Network Systems

Abstract

The subject matter of the grant was robust behavior of sensor networks. The questions to be addressed included: given a sensor network, to characterize its ability to retain a discrete-valued property in the event of loss of p nodes and q communication links; determine where a further communication link or sensor should be introduced to achieve the best improvement; and address solvability under the constraint that any sensor can communicate with only a limited number of its neighbors. Research results included (1) how sensor networks retain localizability property in the event of loss of p nodes and q communication links, and; (2) characterization of "giant" component in large scale random networks.
