Optimal control (OC) is a general and effective approach for trajectory optimization in dynamical systems. So far, however, it has not been applied to mobile sensor networks due to the lack of suitable objective functions and system models. In this paper, an integral objective function representing the quality of service of a sensor network performing cooperative track detection over time is derived...
