Description
Summary:This paper discusses the negative impact of errors in the dating of information gathered across a distributed network of sensors to be treated by a centralized monitoring algorithm. In this contribution, an example of flow monitoring serves as basis for the analysis. We consider an estimator setup for loss detection. Using a simple probability model, we determine the variance of this estimator and show how it is impacted by the dating uncertainty. A mitigating solution is proposed. Further extensions are discussed.
