Understanding Effectiveness of Eco Monitoring Networks: Information Theoretical Perspective
Su Min Li · Advanced materials research · 2013
This work studies eco monitoring networks. As eco monitoring networks have been used to monitor large networks, questions arise whether decentralized inference is efficient and whether an eco monitoring network with a moderate size can monitor an underlying network at the Internet scale. This work studies the local effectiveness of decentralized inference done by individual monitors. Information theoretical measures, i.e., conditional non-uniformity factor is applied to quantify the effectiveness. Large-scale data from DShield is used to access the effectiveness of a real eco monitoring network.
