Description
Springer Networked Sensing Information And Control 2008 Edition by Venkatesh Saligrama
This book presents research on informational and mathematical aspects of networked sensing systems. It brings together internationally reputed researchers from different communities focused on the common theme of distributed sensing inferencing and control over networks. The timeliness of the book is evidenced by the explosion of several independent special sessions devoted to specific aspects of sensor networks in reputed international conferences. Table of contents : Blind Localization.- Blind Calibration of Networks of Sensors: Theory and Algorithms.- Sparse multidimensional scaling for blind tracking in sensor networks.- Distributed Computation over Unreliable Communication Networks.- Error Exponents for Decentralized Detection in Tree Networks.- Function Computation in Wireless Sensor Networks.- Network Coding for Distributed Storage in Wireless Networks.- Rate Constrained Field Reconstruction.- Distributed Field Estimation with One-bit Sensors.- On the Number of Bits to Encode the Outputs of Densely Deployed Sensors.- Separation Theorems And Partial Orderings For Sensor Network Problems.- Dynamics & Control over Communication Networks.- Toward the Design of a Transport Layer for Networked Control Systems.- Reliable Distributed Estimation with Intermittent Communications.- Smart Sleeping Policies for Energy-Efficient Tracking in Sensor Networks.- Distributed coverage of nonconvex environments.
