Target tracking is usually a challenging application for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) because it is always computation-intensive and requires real-time processing. This paper proposes a practical target tracking system based on the auto regressive moving average (ARMA) model in a distributed peer-to-peer (P2P) signal processing framework. In the proposed framework, wireless sensor nodes act ...

Aiming to solving the nonlinear coordinated trajectory tracking control problem of multi-USVs under influence slowly changing and uncertain environmental disturbances, reducing energy consumption ensuring performance stability, a distributed event-triggered adaptive controller (DET-ACTTC) for multiple unmanned surface vessels (multi-USVs) is proposed based on undirected communication topology. ...

For a large class of defense problems involving distributed, multisensor, multitarget tracking based on data fusion techniques, there are many factors that can affect the cost-performance tradeoff for the overall system. Although the complexity of such problems depends on the overall dimensionality, there is usually sufficient complexity involved that the system design cannot be approached with...

Free/Libre open source software (FLOSS, e.g., Linux or Apache) is primarily developed by distributed teams. Developers contribute from around the world and coordinate their activity almost exclusively by means of email and bulletin boards, yet some how profit from the advantages and evade the challenges of distributed software development. In this article we investigate the structure and the co...

We introduce a framework and methodology of cooperative simultaneous localization and tracking (CoSLAT) in decentralized mobile agent networks. CoSLAT provides a consistent combination of cooperative self-localization (CSL) and distributed target tracking (DTT). Multiple mobile targets and mobile agents are tracked using pairwise measurements between agents and targets and between agents. We pr...
