Distributed Data Fusion for Network-Centric Operations

Examining the current and cutting-edge issues and solutions involving information fusion within a distributed network, this book highlights the ever-increasing role of distributed fusion in daily living due to the recent proliferation of service oriented architectures (SOA), cloud computing, and distributed inter-connected systems. It examines a wide range of disciplines, sources, and applications including micro- and nano-scale sensors, wireless communication, and ubiquitous computing; the assembly of information from sensors, models, and human input; and the resulting usage in environmental monitoring, crisis management, and medical diagnosis.
