Preface

The increasing applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) witness the fact that the cooperative effort of sensor nodes can accomplish high-level tasks with sensing, data processing, and communication. Instead of sending the raw data to the fusion centers, sensor nodes execute distributed estimation for practical applications by locally carrying out simple computation and transmitting only the required and/or partially processed data. However, the network-wide information fusion capability and efficiency of the distributed estimation remain largely under-investigated. Moreover, the large-scale of WSNs imposes distinguished challenges on systematic analysis and scalable algorithm design to satisfy fundamental estimation criteria. In this monograph, we focus on network-wi
