Críticas

"... a collection of chapters from leading thinkers in this emerging field ... This book represents the best body of thinking on the emerging topic of distributed data fusion, including varied aspects of the problem itself and a multitude of approaches to address the stated challenges."
―Dale Walsh, The MITRE Corporation, Gainesville, Virginia, USA

"This book addresses a very timely topic―the confluence of the emerging networked sensing and fusion, which leads to distributed data fusion of network-centric operations. ... The list of authors in this book reads like a ‘Who’s Who’ in the field ... . Consequently, this book is very comprehensive and covers all the important topics needed by researchers in this area. Another attractive aspect of this book is that the list of authors includes theoreticians as well as practitioners of data fusion and network-centric systems. This provides the reader with the best of both worlds and some very unique perspectives."
―Raja Suresh, General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, Vadnais Heights, Minnesota, USA

"This book provides a comprehensive introduction and detailed design descriptions of the methods for distributing the data fusion functions within grid, distributed, and cloud computing architectures."
―Ed Waltz, BAE Systems, Chantilly, Virginia, USA

"Written in a manner that particularly highlights topics of direct relevance to a Department of Defense reader ... As is typical for these editors, the chapters provide a well-organized, thorough review of the field from both a theoretical and applied research perspective. The book will most certainly serve as a useful tool for fusion researchers and practitioners alike as we continue to grapple with the critical issue of ensuring our data collection efforts have a clear and positive impact on mission outcome."
―From the Foreword by Barbara D. Broome, Chief, Information Sciences Division, U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi Laboratory Center, Maryland, USA

Reseña del editor

With the recent proliferation of service-oriented architectures (SOA), cloud computing technologies, and distributed-interconnected systems, distributed fusion is taking on a larger role in a variety of applications―from environmental monitoring and crisis management to intelligent buildings and defense. Drawing on the work of leading experts around the world, Distributed Data Fusion for Network-Centric Operations examines the state of the art of data fusion in a distributed sensing, communications, and computing environment.

Get Insight into Designing and Implementing Data Fusion in a Distributed Network

Addressing the entirety of information fusion, the contributors cover everything from signal and image processing, through estimation, to situation awareness. In particular, the work offers a timely look at the issues and solutions involving fusion within a distributed network enterprise. These include critical design problems, such as how to maintain a pedigree of agents or nodes that receive information, provide their contribution to the dataset, and pass to other network components. The book also tackles dynamic data sharing within a network-centric enterprise, distributed fusion effects on state estimation, graph-theoretic methods to optimize fusion performance, human engineering factors, and computer ontologies for higher levels of situation assessment.

A comprehensive introduction to this emerging field and its challenges, the book explores how data fusion can be used within grid, distributed, and cloud computing architectures. Bringing together both theoretical and applied research perspectives, this is a valuable reference for fusion researchers and practitioners. It offers guidance and insight for those working on the complex issues of designing and implementing distributed, decentralized information fusion.
