Abstract:

Our results are categorized into two groups Group A was the main focus, and B are preliminary results creating the foundation for future researchA We discovered new methods to analyze and design optimal distributed estimation systems and decentralized controllers. We have discovered new principles and insights that have contributed to systematic methods for the design of more efficient distributed tracking and decentralized control systems. More recently, we obtained new methods to design and analyze the performance of systems in which the operation of a constitutive component incurs additional costs or is contingent on shared resources or utilization levels that depend on previous actions. Examples include 1 remote estimation or distributed tracking systems in which the wireless transmission of data from the sensors to a base station is either costly or is powered by batteries recharged by energy harvesting and 2Remote sensing in which information is sent from the sensors to a base-station across a shared wireless network in which simultaneous transmissions cause a destructive interference event commonly called collision. Our published articles describe our overarching formulation and progressively more general results on these problems. Our focus is on structural results that can be leveraged to reduce the complexity of the design process significantly.
