Mobile sensor networks can be employed in multiple applications, such as search and
rescue, border patrol, battle scenarios and environmental monitoring. In this survey, we …

Sensing and data aggregation capabilities of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) depends on
efficient deployment of sensor nodes (SNs) in an area. In a large surveillance space, there is …

The nature and complexity of the security threats faced by our society in recent years have
made it clear that a smart pervasive surveillance system constitutes the most effective cure …

We present a methodology for optimal target detection in a multi sensor surveillance system.
The system consists of mobile sensors that guard a rectangular surveillance zone …

This dissertation examines the problem of designing large scale multi-robot systems for
pursuit-evasion tasks, which involves the detection of all targets initially located in some …

This paper describes our" sandbox" for the study of multi-asset surveillance, and explores
the performance of rule-based control strategies on this task. In order to maximize the …

The aim of this chapter is to provide an introduction to pervasive surveillance systems and
discuss the needs and challenges of designing an intelligent sensor management …

We are proposing a self deploying mobile sensor network which is empowered with event
based relocation of redundant sensors for enhancing the quality of event sensing. Energy …

A framework and analysis for a distributed sensor network based surveillance system is
presented here. In a previous effort [1] we have presented methodologies for coordination …

This paper studies the effect of endowing the social parameter, autonomy, on a distributed
sensor network. The sensor network is used for surveillance of multiple targets that …
