Abstract

Distributed estimation plays an essential role in many networked applications, such as communication, networked control, monitoring, and surveillance. Motivated by this, the chapter provides an overview on some of the fundamental aspects of distributed estimation over networks together with an investigation of the computational complexity and communication cost. A phenomenon being observed by a number of sensors ...
