Abstract

This article deals with the modeling and management of spatiotemporal systems using machine learning and self-organization algorithms. Two application examples are the localization of objects from radio measurements using spatiotemporal models learned from data, and the self-organizing management of wireless multi-hop sensor networks. For both examples we show how machine learning and self-organization significantly increases accuracy and efficiency.
