Constraint Chaining: On Energy-Efficient Continuous Monitoring in Sensor Networks

Summary: CONCH (Constraint Chaining) enables energy-efficient continuous monitoring in sensor networks via local node/edge constraints for global inference and report suppression. Redundancy and uncertainty handling tolerate failures; simulations show favorable energy-cost trade-offs vs baselines. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
