Networked Filtering and Fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks

by Magdi S. Mahmoud, Yuanqing Xia

Overview

By exploiting the synergies among available data, information fusion can reduce data traffic, filter noisy measurements, and make predictions and inferences about a monitored entity. Networked Filtering and Fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks introduces the subject of multi-sensor fusion as the method of choice for implementing distributed systems.T

About the Author

Magdi Sadek Mahmoud obtained BSc (Honors) in communication engineering, MSc in electronic engineering, and PhD in systems engineering, all from Cairo University in 1968, 1972, and 1974, respectively. He has been a professor of engineering since 1984. He is now a Distinguished University Professor at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia. He was on the faculty at different universities worldwide including Egypt (CU, AUC), Kuwait (KU), UAE (UAEU), UK (UMIST), USA (Pitt, Case Western), Singapore (Nanyang Technological) and Australia (Adelaide). He lectured in Venezuela (Caracas), Germany (Hanover), UK (Kent), USA (University of Texas at SA), Canada (Montreal, Alberta) and China (BIT, Yanshan). He is the principal author of thirty-four (34) books, inclusive book-chapters and the author/co-author of more than 510 peer-reviewed papers. He is the recipient of two national, one regional, and four university prizes for outstanding research in engineering and applied mathematics. He is a fellow of the IEE, a senior member of the IEEE, the CEI (UK), and a registered consultant engineer of information engineering and systems (Egypt). He is currently actively engaged in teaching and research in the development of modern methodologies of distributed control and filtering, networked-control systems, triggering mechanisms in dynamical systems, faulttolerant systems and information technology. He is a fellow of the IEE, a senior member of the IEEE, the CEI (UK), and a registered consultant engineer of information engineering and systems Egypt.

Editorial Reviews

"By exploiting the synergies among available data, information fusion can reduce data traffic, filter noisy measurements, and make predictions and inferences about a monitored entity. Networked Filtering and Fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks introduces the subject of multisensor fusion as the method of choice for implementing distributed systems. The book examines the state of the art in information fusion. It presents the known methods, algorithms, architectures, and models of information fusion and discusses their applicability in the context of wireless sensor networks. ... After reading the book, readers will gain the understanding required to model parts of dynamic systems and use those models to develop distributed fusion control algorithms that are based on feedback control theory."
