Abstract
This paper considers a situation in which a sensor network detects signals from approaching objects (e.g., small boats traveling in a harbor) while protecting a stationary target (e.g., a large battleship at anchor). Once a sufficient number of signals are detected by the network (for example, through video surveillance), it may classify the object's intention as hostile and act accordingly by informing responders. The objective is to accurately and timely recognize intruders. We show that the optimal policy is of a Control Limit Threshold (CLT).
