note = "Funding Information: This chapter describes a variety of approaches to sensor management in a multi-institution project on nuclear detection, which is based at Rutgers University and supported by the US Department of Homeland Security Domestic Nuclear Detection Office in collaboration with the US National Science Foundation. The chapter provides an overview and summary of the project. In so doing, it touches on four themes that have emerged as the areas of greatest emphasis in the project: (1) methods to exploit data from radiation sensors and shipping manifests for classification and decision making; (2) ways to optimize sequential decisions in layered inspection processes; (3) detection using a fleet of mobile radiation sensors; and (4) data sampling strategies for nuclear detection. Funding Information: We thank the members of our nuclear detection and port security project teams, especially those whose work is represented in this chapter: James Abello, Saket Anand, Tsvetan Asamov, Endre Boros, Xueying Chen, Siddhartha Dalal, Savas Dayanik, Elsayed Elsayed, Peter Frazier, Emilie Hogan, Paul Kantor, Mingyu Li, David Madigan, Sushil Mittal, Alantha Newman, Jason Perry, William Pottenger, Warren Powell, Ilya Rhyzov, Warren Scott, Kazutoshi Yamazaki, Christina Young, and Yada Zhu, Christopher Janneck, Adam Marzsalek, Christie Nelson.
