This system-wide deployment of sensing\ndevices, also referred to as distributed sensing, has taken off in the last\ndecade. It results in a data-rich environment and provides unprecedented\nopportunities for improvements in quality and productivity. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;In\norder to allow the potential of distributed sensor networks to be fully realized,\nanalysis and design methodologies are needed to provide decision support\ncapability. This talk discusses a number of decision-level research issues and\nchallenges encountered in our recent research undertaking, including multi-resolution\ninformation integration, data reduction, and redundancy analysis.\u0026nbsp; The talk will also discuss a few new\napplications and emphasize engineering implications and needs that arise from\nthe applications.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EBiosketch\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp align=\u0022left\u0022\u003E\u0026nbsp;Dr. Yu Ding is currently an Associate Professor and\nHolder of the Centerpoint Energy Career Development Professorship in the\nDepartment of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Texas A\u0026amp;M University.
