Abstract
An auction-based distributed method for cooperative multi-target tracking by a plurality of satellites, includes distributed target tracking error and utilization computation as an auction bid across the satellite and uses message-passing to find best bid, handles different tracking requirements via definition of bids and modification of task definition used during the bidding process, and selected a list of auction winners to track the target.
