Abstract: para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> A novel networked multisensor data-fusion method is developed in this paper. A federated filter is employed to fuse the data transmitted over the network, which plays an important role in the data-processing center. The stability of filters under the network is considered; an algorithm to deal with the delayed data is introduced, and the principle for data fusion is presented. Finally, two numerical examples show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. </para>
