Distributed information processing with applications to sensor networks and video coding

With the recent emergence of application areas like
distributed wireless sensor networks, video-over-wireless systems, multimedia
cellular telephony and multi-camera surveillance systems, and media
security, there has been a renewal of interest in distributed information
processing, and in the recognition of the need for constructive and
computationally efficient algorithms in order make these systems a reality.
In this talk, we consider basic approaches used in distributed processing and
their applications.
