Colloquium: Querying Sensor Data in Smartphone Networks, Dr. Demetris Zeinalipour (University of Cyprus, Cyprus), Thursday, October 11, 2012, 09.15-10.15 EET.
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus cordially invites you to the Colloquium entitled:
Querying Sensor Data in Smartphone Networks
 |
Speaker: Dr. Demetris Zeinalipour |
Abstract:
Smartphones have emerged as powerful computational platforms equipped with multitude of sensors that are capable of generating vast amounts of data (geo-location, audio, video, etc.) Collections of smartphones connected to the Internet are nowadays proposed for opportunistic and participatory sensing applications in intelligent transportation systems, social networking applications, city planning and many other domains, prompting undeniably the post-PC era. In this talk, I will present distributed architectures for querying and managing such sensor data by taking into account energy, data disclosure and networking aspects. I will particularly focus on SmartTrace, a powerful query processing framework for finding similar smartphone trajectories without disclosing the traces of participating users. I will also present SmartLab, a first-of-a-kind programmable cloud of 40+ smartphones deployed at our department enabling a new line of systems-oriented research on smartphones. Finally, I will also overview other related smartphone data management frameworks we've developed for peer-to-peer search, crowdsourcing and indoor positioning, concluding with an outlook to our future research agenda.
