Abstract

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.
