Preface

We have witnessed a surge of applications using static or mobile sensor networks interacting with uncertain environments. To treat a variety of useful tasks such as environmental monitoring, adaptive sampling, surveillance, and exploration, this book introduces a class of problems and efficient spatio-temporal models when scalar fields need to be predicted from noisy observations collected by mobile sensor networks. The book discusses how to make inference fr
