2019年12月2日上午，香港城市大學Gang Feng教授與香港科技大學Ling Shi副教授應邀在将軍路校區伟德 官网4号樓507會議室分别做了題為“Optimal converge control of heterogeneous mobile sensor networks”與“Sensor Scheduling for Remote State Estimation with Unknown Communication Channel Statistics: A Learning-based Approach”的學術報告。報告由南京航空航天大學伟德 官网院長江駒教授主持，伟德 官网副院長陳謀教授及部分師生參加了學術報告會。

Feng教授首先以環境監視與信息偵查為應用背景，引出了異構多傳感器網絡的收斂問題，并指出了多傳感器收斂過程中的研究難點。接着，Feng教授介紹了異構傳感器網絡的數學模型框架，提出了一種收斂性能指标函數，并對性能指标函數進行了分析。然後，Feng教授給出了基于固定通信拓撲和收斂通信範圍的收斂目标，并提出了對應的收斂控制律，同時對收斂性進行了分析。通過一組仿真結果，Feng教授對所提出的方法進行了驗證，展示了他們團隊的最新研究成果。最後，Feng教授對彙報内容進行了總結，并對如何将異構傳感器網絡擴展至多維空間等研究方向提出了展望。

随後，Shi教授向在場師生分享了他在最優狀态估計方面的最新研究成果。他首先以智能制造與環境監測為例，介紹了無線傳感器網絡最優狀态估計問題的研究意義。接着，他通過結合傳統卡爾曼濾波器與伯努利丢包模型，引出了最優狀态估計的核心問題。然後，Shi教授詳細講解了已知信道條件與未知信道條件下的調度問題，提出了用于最優估計策略的阈值結構與異步學習算法，并通過仿真驗證展示了該方法的有效性。最後，Shi教授對多傳感器信息融合的最優狀态估計等研究方向進行了展望。

報告結束後，Feng教授和Shi教授與參會師生針對報告内容進行了熱烈的讨論，對師生們提出的問題給予了詳細的解答，并與部分師生合影留念。
