In decentralized networked supervisory control of discrete-event systems (DESs), the local supervisors observe event occurrences subject to observation delays to make correct control decisions. Delay coobservability describes whether these…
We revisit the problem of statistical sequence matching initiated by Unnikrishnan (TIT 2015) and derive theoretical performance guarantees for sequential tests that have bounded expected stopping times. Specifically, in this problem, one is…
A sensor observes a random phenomenon and transmits updates about the observed phenomenon to a remote monitor. The sensor may experience intermittent failures in which case the monitor will not receive any updates until the sensor has…
We study the best-choice problem for processes which generalise the process of records from Poisson-paced i.i.d. observations. Under the assumption that the observer knows distribution of the process and the horizon, we determine the…

Estimation problems in wireless sensor networks typically involve gathering and processing data from distributed sensors to infer the state of an environment at the fusion center. However, not all measurements contribute significantly to…
Two mobile agents, starting at arbitrary, possibly different times from arbitrary nodes of an unknown network, have to meet at some node. Agents move in synchronous rounds: in each round an agent can either stay at the current node or move…
The problem of sequential change diagnosis is considered, where a sequence of independent random elements is accessed sequentially, there is an abrupt change in its distribution at some unknown time, and there are two main operational…
We consider the problem of decentralized detection where peripheral nodes make noisy observations of a phenomenon and send quantized information about the phenomenon towards a fusion center over a sum-rate constrained multiple access…
This paper is concerned with a leader-follower problem for a multi-agent system with a switching interconnection topology. Distributed observers are designed for the second-order follower-agents, under the common assumption that the…
The main contribution of this paper is an efficient and generalized decentralized monitoring algorithm allowing to detect satisfaction or violation of any regular specification by local monitors alone in a system without central observation…
We present the first decentralized algorithm for detecting predicates over continuous-time signals under partial synchrony. A distributed cyber-physical system (CPS) consists of a network of agents, each of which measures (or computes) a…

We register a stochastic sequence affected by one disorder. Monitoring of the sequence is made in the circumstances when not full information about distributions before and after the change is available. The initial problem of disorder…

A sensor network is considered where a sequence of random variables is observed at each sensor. At each time step, a processed version of the observations is transmitted from the sensors to a common node called the fusion center. At some…
