Multi-robot target detection and tracking: taxonomy and survey

TL;DR: This article defines classes of missions and problems, and relates the results from various communities according to a unifying taxonomy, and proposes a transverse synthesis which analyses the approaches, models and lacks that are recurrent through all the tackled problems.

The Sensor Selection Problem for Bounded Uncertainty Sensing Models

TL;DR: It is formally prove that a constant number of sensors suffice for a good estimate-an observation made by many researchers and presented an algorithm for selecting such sensors.

Sensor Placement for Triangulation-Based Localization

TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of computing the minimum number and placement of sensors so that the localization uncertainty at every point in the workspace is less than a given threshold and presents a solution framework based on integer linear programming and an approximation algorithm with a constant factor performance guarantee.

A decentralized motion coordination strategy for dynamic target tracking

TL;DR: This paper presents a decentralized motion planning algorithm for the distributed sensing of a noisy dynamical process by multiple cooperating mobile sensor agents based on a cost function that measures the overall quality of sensing.

Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness

TL;DR: The second edition of a quarterly column as discussed by the authors provides a continuing update to the list of problems (NP-complete and harder) presented by M. R. Garey and myself in our book "Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness,” W. H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco, 1979.
