Research Thrusts
This project mathematically characterizes
structural dynamic properties of sensor networks
in order to engineer their design and operation for
dependable information fusion in urban operations.
Four research thrusts address our comprehensive
approach towards formulating an engineering science
for operational dependability of sensor networks
in this context.
II. Urban Sensor Network Structures
This thrust area will explore the network design
space in terms of its effects on preserving the
statistical characteristics of the information space.
Changes in the design space are actuated through
network reconfiguration and dynamic clustering.
Specifically, we will determine how space-time
geometries of transient physical phenomena and
urban area environments affect time critical fusion
of information. We will determine critical thresholds
for breakdown of structural properties. We
define and derive, both analytically and
experimentally, regions of structural stability in
the architectural design space and critical values
where the subsequent macroscopic behavior of the
network changes abruptly. The goal is to dynamically
utilize resources to achieve both stability
and performance under conditions of uncertainty,
noise, and partial information.
