Surveillance systems provide the capability of collecting authentic and purposeful
information and forming appropriate decisions to enhance safety. This paper reviews …

The use of multiple heterogeneous cameras is becoming more common in today's
surveillance systems. In order to perform surveillance tasks, effective coordination and …

The crucial role played by social interactions between smart objects in the Internet of Things
(IoT) is being rapidly recognized by the social IoT (SIoT) vision. In this paper, we build upon …

In this paper we present a Cooperative Surveillance Multi-Agent System (CS-MAS)
architecture extended to incorporate dynamic coalition formation. We illustrate specific …

Over the past few years, the Internet of Things has gone from theoretical concept to our
everyday living experience. The explosive growth of sensor streams also leads to a new …

This article revises the state of the art of the application of agent technology within the scope
of surveillance systems. Thus, the potential of the practical use of the concepts and …

We present a generic framework for enhanced active multi-sensing. We propose a
coopetitive interaction approach, which combines the salient features of cooperation and …

In this paper we sketch a vision of future environments densely populated by smart sensors
and actuators-possibly embedded in everyday objects-that, rather than simply producing …

In this paper, we detail some technical alternatives when building a coherent distributed
visual sensor network by using the multi-agent paradigm. We argue that the multi-agent …

The nature and complexity of the security threats faced by our society in recent years have
made it clear that a smart pervasive surveillance system constitutes the most effective cure …
