This book provides an introductory treatment of the fundamentals of decision-making in a distributed framework. Classical detection theory assumes that complete observations are available at a central
This book systematically presents energy-efficient robust fusion estimation methods to achieve thorough and comprehensive results in the context of network-based fusion estimation. It summarizes recen
This book introduces fundamentals and trade-offs of data de-duplication techniques. It describes novel emerging de-duplication techniques that remove duplicate data both in storage and network in an e
This book presents several compact and fast methods for online traffic measurement of big network data. It describes challenges of online traffic measurement, discusses the state of the field, and pro
Fieldbus Technology (FT) is an enabling platform that is becoming the preferred choice for the next generation real-time automation and control solutions. This book incorporates a selection of researc
This book introduces resource-aware data fusion algorithms to gather and combine data from multiple sources (e.g., sensors) in order to achieve inferences. These techniques can be used in centralized
This book introduces resource-aware data fusion algorithms that generate inferences by combining data from multiple sources techniques useful in centralized and distributed systems to overcome sensor
This book introduces condition-based maintenance (CBM)/data-driven prognostics and health management (PHM) in detail, first explaining the PHM design approach from a systems engineering perspective, t
This book presents the methodology and applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in measuring productivity, efficiency and effectiveness in Financial Services firms such as banks, bank branches,
The book addresses issues towards the design and development of Wireless Sensor Network based Smart Home and fusion of Real-Time Data for Wellness Determination of an elderly person living alone in a
This is the first book to introduce UUDN for 5G, including the concept, challenges, architecture and key technologies.The new network architecture based on “de-cellular” and “user-centric” is proposed
This book describes a model-based development (MBD) approach for distributed embedded controllers (DEC). This approach uses Petri nets as modeling formalism to create platform and network independent
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of numerous physically distributed autonomous devices used for sensing and monitoring the physical and/or environmental conditions. A WSN uses a gateway that pro
The authors’ original motivation for the book was a one-semester course on network optimization for senior masters’ level classes of econometrics and operations research. The textbook is suitable for
Today's wireless services have come a long way since the roll out of the conventional voice-centric cellular systems. The demand for wireless access in voice and high rate data multi-media applicatio
Information and communication technology has helped to provide a more effective network infrastructure and development platform for logistics and service operations. In order to meet the needs of cons
This monograph presents a simple, innovative approach for the measurement and short-term prediction of highway travel times based on the fusion of inductive loop detector and toll ticket data. The met
This monograph presents a tactical planning approach for service network design in metropolitan areas. Designing the service network requires the suitable aggregation of demand data as well as the ant
This book focuses on the study of possible adaptive sampling mechanisms for haptic data compression aimed at applications like tele-operations and tele-surgery. Demonstrating that the selection of the
This book covers the latest techniques for analysing and representing the complex, multi-layered data now available to geographers studying urban zones and their populations, from network analysis too
