Anomaly detection plays an important role in ensuring the data quality in wireless sensor networks(WSNs).The main objective of the paper is to design a light-weight and distributed algorithm to detect the data collected from WSNs effectively.This is achieved by proposing a distributed anomaly detection algorithm based on ensemble isolation principle.The new method offers distinctive advantages over the existing methods.Firstly,it does not require any distance or density measurement,which reduces computational burdens significantly.Secondly,considering the spatial correlation characteristic of node deployment in WSNs,local sub-detector is built in each sensor node,which is broadcasted simultaneously to neighbor sensor nodes.A global detector model is then constructed by using the local detector model and the neighbor detector model,which possesses a distributed nature and decreases communication burden.The experiment results on the labeled dataset confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.
The paper investigates decentralized event-triggered average consensus problem for multi-agent systems in cyberphysical systems(CPSs) with communication constraints.To reduce communication burden and improve the communication efficiency of multi-agent systems in CPSs,event-trigger is distributed at subsystem/agent level.A multi-agent system is then modeled as a reduced dimension hybrid system by taking into account decentralized event-triggered mechanism,communication delays and data dropouts within one framework.Some sufflcient conditions for average consensus of each agent and an upper bound of communication delay and maximal allowable number of successive data dropouts(MANSD) are obtained,which can conveniently provide the relationship between the triggering parameters,communication constraints and the system stability.Specially,the quantitative relationship between the triggering parameters,MANSD and the system stability is derived.Finally,simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
The average consensus problem in a directed network of multi-agent systems with communication time delays was investigated. The directed networks were balanced and weakly connected with fixed or switching topology digraph. Based on frequency domain analysis method, a sufficient condition of asymptotic stability of multi-agent systems with time delays was obtained,where the analytic formula between the maximum time delay and the directed network structure was provided. The maximum time delay can be derived directly and easily by the eigenvalue of Laplacian L. Numerical examples confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
