Abstract The rapid advancements of sensors, sensor networks and computing technologies have resulted in both temporally and spatially dense data-rich environments. With massive data readily available, there is a pressing need to develop advanced methodologies and software to intelligently extract knowledge and to reveal inherent relationships among events in order to meet various decision making objectives such as monitoring, detection, diagnosis and control. Addressing the need is considered very challenging because of a collection of factors such as the complexity of the system, the uncertainty, heterogeneity and high dimensionality of the data, and the increasing expectation and requirements on the decision-making capabilities. Motivated by this, this presentation will briefly discuss some research topics related to the data fusion, information retrieval and knowledge discovery of complex systems for optimal decision making. |
