Title :\u00a0<\/strong>Sensor Platforms for Providing Affordable IoT Solutions to the Developing World<\/span><\/h6>\n

Abstract :\u00a0<\/strong>IoT based sensor networks are expected to see a massive growth the world over in the next few years. However, the poor infrastructure facilities available in many of the developing countries and the <\/span>extreme low cost requirementsthese technologies are expected to meet pose a challenge for an increased penetration of these technologies in such environments. This calls for an innovation on the technology front in addition to developing a novel business model for their penetration. The requirement for IoT sensor platforms in these economies is however very critical in solving the needs of security, healthcare, agriculture, water and air quality monitoring. In this talk, we will discuss some of these challenges and opportunities for <\/span>development of IoT based sensor solutions for <\/span>resource constrained environments.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

We will show the need for a massive deployment of such technologies, their calibration, power supply and network challenges as well as the user interface requirements keeping in mind the socio-economic conditions of the end users. In order to achieve some of these goals, <\/span>wedemonstrate novel sensor integration <\/span>methodologieswhere completely diverse platforms, materials and approaches are brought together in order to realize the desired system functionality at the targeted price points. The talk also discusses how nano-scale materials and <\/span>phenomenacan help improve the sensitivity of sensor platforms for detection of <\/span>sub ppb levels of analytes for specific sensing applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Title :<\/strong>Smart Electronic Systems<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

Abstract<\/strong>: We often observe the word \u201csmart\u201d being used with many devices, systems, and bigger physical entities. For example, <\/span>smart phone, smart car, smart healthcare, smart city, are being used in various contexts. So, <\/span>question arise what is \u201csmart\u201d? Does smart mean compact? Does smart mean efficient? Does smart mean fast? Does smart mean intelligent? What is it? Probably the adjective \u201csmart\u201d being used in various contexts for various reasons? The objective of this talk to discuss \u201csmartness\u201d with specific emphasis to consumer electronics which are essentially electronic systems. A combination of various forms of hardware, system software, and applications <\/span>software, make the realization of such a smart electronic system possible. What additional components an electronic system should have to be called \u201csmart\u201d? What characteristics an electronic system should have to be called \u201csmart\u201d? These aspects of <\/span>electronic system will be discussed in this talk.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a specific thought, smart electronic systems are envisioned to be Energy-Smart, Security-Smart, and Response-Smart. Energy-Smart ensures that energy consumption of electronics is optimal for longer battery life and smaller energy bills. Security-Smart handles the security, privacy, or protection of electronic systems as well as that of the data or media that these systems capture, process, or store. Response-Smart refers to accurate sensing, intelligent processing to retrieve knowledge or information from the data, and fast actuation or response based on the information. There is a need for new hardware, firmware, middleware, and software research that interacts with each other for efficient realization of smart electronic systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Title: <\/strong>Architecting Internet-of-Things Systems: Impending Challenges and Integrative Solutions<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

Abstract:<\/strong><\/span> The Internet-of-Things (IoT) regime arguably began about a decade back, when the number of connected computing devices exceeded the human population.\u00a0Today, our environment includes billions of connected electronic systems, coordinating and communicating to implement applications of unprecedented scale and diversity, ranging from intelligent homes, smart biomedical devices, self-driving automobiles, to smart cities.\u00a0 The trend is towards even more proliferation of these systems with estimates of trillions within the next fifteen years, representing the fastest growth for any sector at any time in <\/span>the human history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given the scale of computing in the IoT regime, it is crucial to our well being to ensure that participating systems operate (or process, store, and communicate information) safely, reliably, securely, and as intended. Unfortunately, traditional techniques for system architecture and design to address these requirements are often inadequate for the needs of the new era.\u00a0 System architecture challenges arise from <\/span>complex interplay of a variety of constraints from reliability, energy-efficiency, security, software enablement, validation, in-field <\/span>configurability, and many others.<\/span><\/p>\n

To address these challenges, fundamentally new approaches are necessary that cross-cut several traditional areas of computer science and engineering including computer architecture, hardware\/software co-design, verification, and machine learning, in addition to drawing ideas from areas as diverse as mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, and device physics.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this talk, we will look at architectural and design challenges and approaches in ensuring efficient, reliable and trustworthy behavior of computing systems in the IoT regime.\u00a0 IoT system architecture in current industrial practice is a highly complex activity, spanning consideration for the entire design cycle and involving a variety of stakeholders with conflicting requirements. We will discuss unique constraints induced by representative application domains such as automotive and biomedical systems. The talk will cover the current state of practice in addressing these constraints, their limitations, and some important research initiatives taken to address those limitations. We will present a novel, flexible approach to system architecture for IoT and automotive systems that facilitates comprehension and analysis of trade-offs among various stakeholder interests.\u00a0 The talk will give a flavor of the nature of the cross-cutting, collaborative research necessary to develop high-assurance computing devices in the IoT era.<\/span><\/p>\n
