Description

This research focuses on developing effective fault detection techniques for integrated sensor networks. Sensor networks are critical in various applications, including environmental monitoring, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure. However, due to their distributed nature and exposure to harsh conditions, sensor nodes can be prone to failures and faults, leading to inaccurate data and compromised system performance.

One of the primary goals of this research is to enhance the reliability and resilience of integrated sensor networks. By promptly detecting faults, network administrators can take appropriate actions, such as re-routing data flow, activating redundant nodes, or deploying maintenance teams to repair or replace faulty sensors. This proactive response helps maintain continuous and accurate data collection, reducing the impact of sensor failures on the overall system performance.

Delves into the optimization of fault detection algorithms to minimize false positives and false negatives. Striking the right balance between sensitivity and specificity is crucial to ensure accurate fault identification without unnecessarily triggering false alarms, which can be both resource-intensive and disruptive to the network's normal operation.

Additionally, the research examines the integration of fault detection with self-healing capabilities. By combining fault detection with autonomous system recovery mechanisms, integrated sensor networks can become more self-adaptive and resilient, reducing the reliance on manual interventions and ensuring continuous data availability.
