Abstract
In this paper, we envision a cooperative sensor and actor network (C-SANET) that encompasses a set of heterogeneous sensing agents, acting agents, situation awareness agents, resource management agents and decision support/ making agents. These agents are endowed with know-how capability for solving problems in an autonomous way and a know-how-to-cooperate capability by which the agents can share common interests and interact with each other. These spatially distributed agents, when properly managed, can sense collaboratively and continuously a volume of interest and physically manipulate and interact with it. The paper provides a comprehensive introduction to cooperative sensor and actor networks and discusses different forms of cooperation in C-SANETs in the context of distributed surveillance.
