Individual sensors must coordinate
- E.g., coordinating sleep cycles to optimize battery life, coverage, communications
Must adapt over the long term to changing environments
Agent research might map over well, but hasn't been designed for such constrained environments
- Slow, intermittent communication
- Hardware failures
- Limited CPUs
Problems may be modeled as DCOPS
- Approximation algorithm based on max-sum
- Robust to message loss
- Better solutions than other approximations
