A method for observing a predetermined monitoring area, wherein one or more sensing platform nodes are employed to observe a predetermined number of sub-areas of the monitoring area, includes observing the sub-areas of the monitoring area using the sensing platform nodes so as to collect measuring data for the sub-areas. A prediction model is provided for analyzing predictability of measuring data for the sub-areas based on the collected measuring data. Future measuring data is calculated for the sub-areas and uncertainty of the future measuring data over time is calculated using the prediction model. The sensing platform nodes are scheduled for observation of the sub-areas according to a scheduling mechanism. The scheduling of the sensing platform nodes is dependent on the calculated uncertainty of the future measuring data predicted for the sub-areas.

A method for verifying authenticity of a monitoring signal includes employing a multitude of actuators to impact a physical environment with individual signals, wherein the individual signals originate from the actuators and are directed to the physical environment; observing, via at least one sensor device, the physical environment so as to record the monitoring signal, wherein the monitoring signal represents a combined impact of the individual signals on the physical environment; and comparing the monitoring signal with an expected signal to determine a degree of similarity between the monitoring signal and the expected signal, wherein the expected signal is computed on the basis of one or more predetermined template.
