Abstract:

The state-of-art of sensor management has been advanced to the extent where high-level information plays an increasingly important role. Since situation state and associated request for information are device independent, a question arises as whether the term (sensor management) is sufficient enough to encompass the functions on the information level. Recognizing the essential need of intelligent agents to perceive the environment to take appropriate actions, this letter proposes the concept of perception management. It refers to controlling the process of data acquisition from the external world to enhance percepts obtained. The content of perception management is outlined and its relationship with sensor management is also discussed. 1 Sensor Management: Advancing to the Information Level Control of sensing resources to enable efficient and coordinated observations plays an important role in modern multi-sensor systems. It serves the purpose of process refinement within the JDL data fusion model [1]. The term sensor management [2] was created to refer to the generic aspect of controlling and allocating the usage of sensor resources to enhance fusion performance. With the increasing sophistication of real applications, however, the scope of sensor management has been extended considerably to beyond merely controlling and scheduling physical devices in response to es-
