Election algorithms applied to the global aggregation in networks of comparators

The paper shows the application of election algorithms in networks of comparators. We have described and adopted six election methods which have been used as an aggregator of partial results. We have performed experiments on the data gathered at the fire ground. All of them have been well described and results have been compared. The paper includes a discussion and interpretation of results obtained. It indicates the algorithm with the greatest potential to adapt and to obtain the best results.
