Research Issues

• Modeling interdependencies and correlations
  between sensor data
• Modeling system dynamics
• Sensing and communication under energy,
  bandwidth, complexity constraints
• Optimizing commmunication topologies

• Distributed/decentralized decision-making and
  control
• Designing robustness to failures, modeling
  uncertainty and callibration errors
