There is described a method for computer-assisted processing of measured values detected in a sensor network, with the sensor network comprising a plurality of sensor nodes, which each feature one or more sensors for detection of the measured values, with the measured values of a number of adjacent sensor nodes being known in a sensor node. A multi-area neural network will be mapped onto a corresponding sensor network by the inventive method, which creates the opportunity, with the aid of the information from adjacent sensors, even with incorrect or failed measurements of a sensor node, of guaranteeing detection of a global situation at the location of the sensor node. A sensor network operated with such a method is in such cases more robust against the failure of a few sensors, since a corresponding measured value can be estimated in a suitable way, so that the measurement not available can be replaced by the estimated measured value. The individual sensors of the sensor nodes can thus be of a simpler construction with the same level of robustness of the sensor network, since failures of sensors have less effect on the functional integrity of the sensor network.
