Overview
- Shows the reader how to undertake effective resource allocation in multiple-vehicle systems with sensing limitations and in large-scale mission domains
- Detailed analysis, simulation and results demonstrate algorithm implementation in a manner that readers can easily replicate and develop further
- Treats both deterministic and probabilistic approaches to domain search and object classification in a comprehensive and well-referenced style so that readers can select the more appropriate approach

Reviews
From the reviews:
“In the present book, real-time, decision-making strategies are investigated for domain search and object classification using multiple autonomous vehicle systems under limited sensory resources. … The book may serve as a tool for students, scientists and engineers from academia and industry experienced in these attractive areas. It can be also a source for courses, which can be part of the academic program of Electrical, Control and Computer Science Departments.” (Clementina Mladenova, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1244, 2012)
“Two notable features of the book are that it is rather terse and that it provides a diversity of cases whose differences are left for the reader to monitor. … As an overview of the subject, the book is certainly valuable.” (A. F. Gualtierotti, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2013)
