This paper presents a novel distributed algorithm for a moving targets search with a team of
cooperative unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). UAVs sense targets using on-board sensors …

The nature and complexity of the security threats faced by our society in recent years have
made it clear that a smart pervasive surveillance system constitutes the most effective cure …

In this paper, we study the effects of impaired communications on the performances of
auction-based task allocation in a dynamic surveillance scenario. We propose a novel …

As the world moves on in the direction of automated production lines and advanced robotics,
there is a need to solve the problems of task allocation to robots to maximize efficiency …

In an unfamiliar environment, preliminary scans conducted by large UAVs yield multiple
potential target locations. These encompass both accurately identified targets and those …

The aim of this chapter is to provide an introduction to pervasive surveillance systems and
discuss the needs and challenges of designing an intelligent sensor management …

Multi-robot systems (MRSss) face several challenges, but the most typical problem is the
multi-robot tasks allocation (MRTA). It consists in finding the efficient allocation mechanism …

This report is intended to investigate the formal cooperation models in dynamic multiagent
settings. Aside from clarifying concepts, types and components of cooperation, we have …
