Inner Supervision in Multi-Sensor Data Fusion Using the Concepts of Stackelberg Games

As a new means for data acquisition and fusion, mobile ad hoc sensor networks has been the focus of many researchers during the previous years. To enhance both the quality of service (QoS) and the network´s robustness, the concept of mobility were introduced which gives the designer the capability of using various topologies to perform a certain task. This paper proposes a novel management idea for positioning of the sensor agents based on the concepts of Stackelberg games. It is explained that the new method lowers the cost of internal communication while eases the network description as well
