Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decades, the sensor networks have attracted scholars from interdisciplinary research fields. This is due to the sensor networks make it better to understand the underlying theory of many nature phenomena. Meanwhile, it also provides a reasonable theory for many engineering applications. Most of the existing researches on observation and control are based on the full dimensional output information and single sensing equipment. However, with the diversification and complexity of observation targets and the increasing demand for observation, single sensing equipment cannot implement the observation of mobile targets effectively. Taking the fact that it is difficult or even impossible to carry out the observation of a large-scale system or region by using a single sensor, which can only acquire a part of the output information of this kind of target systems, the distributed observer and control of a multi-sensor network is required.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect original research articles and review articles highlighting developing theories of distributed observer and control of a multi-sensor network. Submissions should be focused on the analysis on the coordinated behaviors, the design of distributed algorithms, and the complexity of the research on multi-sensor networks. We also hope that this Special Issue provides a platform to showcase some real-world applications.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Coordination control of multi-sensor networks
- Distributed state estimation of target systems
- Observer design and algorithm constructions of complex dynamical networks
- Distributed optimization for multi-sensor networks
- Game theory in multi-sensor networks
- Machine/deep learning in multi-sensor networks
- Multi-sensor networks and their real applications
