Issues with consistent generic representations of a radar
Andrew G. Stove · 2008
This paper discusses whether truly generic representations of radars, or other sensors are possible. It concludes that they are probably not, because the abstractions which have to be made in order to be able to reason about their capabilities will inevitably over-simplify the description for other purposes. Examples to support this contention are drawn from the way radar terminology is used. The possible implications of such a conclusion on the use of a dasiasemantic Webpsila approach to allow sensors to understand each other and hence interact autonomously, are discussed.
