Three chapters present methods for handling various optimization problems related to sensors networks. The first chapter investigates mathematical programming techniques for solving a class of multi-sensor scheduling problems. We conducted several case studies and investigated the performance of robust optimization solvers for considered 0-1 linear programming problems. The second chapter presents a survey describing recent developments in the area of mathematical programming techniques for various types of sensor network applications. ...
Data collection of real-time operator performance under varying levels of workload and stress conditions has been performed at AFRL/RHCP. The data includes psycho physiological indicators (5 electroencephalogram (EEG) channels, vertical electro-oculogram (VEOG), horizontal electro-oculogram(HEOG), and electrocardiogram (ECG)) from 12 participants who monitored a simulated mission involving several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Substantial part of research efforts was dedicated to studying and modeling of information flow in brain networks, extraction of ...
This report presents research on optimization formulations for jamming wireless communication networks. The first chapter addresses deterministic situations which were the focus of the first research year. In particular, several formulations of the deterministic Wireless Network Jamming Problem were derived and theoretical proof of problem statements equivalences were obtained. The second year addressed situations in which a network is to be jammed, but no apriori information (i.e., topology, number of ...
In adversarial environments, disabling the communication capabilities of the enemy is a high priority. We introduce the problem of determining the optimal number and locations for a set of jamming devices in order to neutralize a wireless communication network. This problem is known as the WIRELESS NETWORK JAMMING PROBLEM. We develop several mathematical programming formulations based on covering the communication nodes and limiting the connectivity index of the nodes. Two ...
