Abstract
We present an architecture for a class of systems that perform distributed, collaborative, adaptive sensing (DCAS) of the atmosphere. Since the goal of these DCAS systems is to sense the atmosphere when and where the user needs are greatest, end-users naturally play the central role in determining how system resources (sensor targeting, computation, communication) are deployed. We describe the meteorological command and control components that lie at the heart of our testbed DCAS system, and provide timing measurements of component execution times. We then present a utility-based framework that determines how multiple end-user preferences are combined with policy considerations into utility functions that are used to allocate system resources in a manner that dynamically optimizes overall system performance. We also discuss open challenges in the networking and control of such end-user-driven systems.
