<p style="font-size:13px;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements.</span></p>
