Remote control of open groups of remote sensors

A distributed technology will be presented enabling a remote operator to manage arbitrary sized groups of stationary or mobile sensors (or robots), behaving altogether as an integral and global-goal-driven unit. The group is tasked in a Distributed Scenario Language (DSL) collectively executed by communicating interpreters embedded in individual sensors and integrated with their functionalities. Compact and created on the fly, DSL scenarios can be remotely injected into any sensor, subsequently self-replicating, self-modifying, and self-spreading in a virus mode throughout the whole group, tasking individual units and setting needed operational infrastructures among them. The approach can remotely control dynamic and open systems of different natures and comprehend complex phenomena unavailable to individual sensors.
