Sensor network design for the estimation of spatially distributed processes

Dariusz Uciński, Maciej Patan (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In a typical moving contaminating source identification problem, after some type of biological or chemical contamination has occurred, there is a developing cloud of dangerous or toxic material. In order to detect and localize the contamination source, a sensor network can be used. Up to now, however, approaches aiming at guaranteeing a dense region coverage or satisfactory network connectivity have dominated this line of research and abstracted away from the mathematical description...

Sensor network scheduling for identification of spatially distributed processes

Dariusz Uciński (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The work treats the problem of fault detection for processes described by partial differential equations as that of maximizing the power of a parametric hypothesis test which checks whether or not system parameters have nominal values. A simple node activation strategy is discussed for the design of a sensor network deployed in a spatial domain that is supposed to be used while detecting changes in the underlying parameters which govern the process evolution. The setting considered relates...

Mobile sensor routing for parameter estimation of distributed systems using the parallel tunneling method

Tomasz Zięba, Dariusz Uciński (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The paper deals with the problem of optimal path planning for a sensor network with mutliple mobile nodes, whose measurements are supposed to be primarily used to estimate unknown parameters of a system modelled by a partial differential equation. The adopted framework permits to consider two- or three-dimensional spatial domains and correlated observations. Since the aim is to maximize the accuracy of the estimates, a general functional defined on the relevant Fisher information matrix...

Localization in wireless sensor networks: Classification and evaluation of techniques

Ewa Niewiadomska-Szynkiewicz (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Recent advances in technology have enabled the development of low cost, low power and multi functional wireless sensing devices. These devices are networked through setting up a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Sensors that form a WSN are expected to be remotely deployed in large numbers and to self-organize to perform distributed sensing and acting tasks. WSNs are growing rapidly in both size and complexity, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to develop and investigate such large...

Configuring a sensor network for fault detection in distributed parameter systems

Maciej Patan, Dariusz Uciński (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The problem of fault detection in distributed parameter systems (DPSs) is formulated as that of maximizing the power of a parametric hypothesis test which checks whether or not system parameters have nominal values. A computational scheme is provided for the design of a network of observation locations in a spatial domain that are supposed to be used while detecting changes in the underlying parameters of a distributed parameter system. The setting considered relates to a situation where...

Application of a Java-based framework to parallel simulation of large-scale systems

Ewa Niewiadomska-Szynkiewicz, Maciej Żmuda, Maciej Żmuda (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Large-scale systems, such as computer and telecommunication networks, complex control systems and many others, operate in inherently parallel environments. It follows that there are many opportunities to admit parallelism into both the algorithm of control implementation and simulation of the system operation considered. The paper addresses issues associated with the application of parallel discrete event simulation (PDES). We discuss the PDES terminology and methodology. Particular...

A cooperative sensor network : optimal deployment and functioning

Alfonso Farina, Antonio Graziano, Francesca Mariani, Francesco Zirilli (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

A network of mobile cooperative sensors is considered. The following problems are studied: (1) the “optimal“deployment of the sensors on a given territory; (2) the detection of local anomalies in the noisy data measured by the sensors. In absence of an information fusion center in the network, from “local” interactions between sensors “global“solutions of these problems are found.

Optimization schemes for wireless sensor network localization

Ewa Niewiadomska-Szynkiewicz, Michał Marks (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Many applications of wireless sensor networks (WSN) require information about the geographical location of each sensor node. Self-organization and localization capabilities are one of the most important requirements in sensor networks. This paper provides an overview of centralized distance-based algorithms for estimating the positions of nodes in a sensor network. We discuss and compare three approaches: semidefinite programming, simulated annealing and two-phase stochastic optimization-a...
