Abstract
On June 28th, 2024 at 11.00 m the seminar "From Wireless Sensors to Pervasive Perceptual Networks" will take place at DEIB Beta Room (Building 24).A quarter century ago, a set of MobiCom challenge papers catalyzed a research community to pursue the vision of wirelessly networked sensors of increasingly diminishing proportions that could densely monitor the physical world. Today, much of the original vision has been realized, and a bewildering array and variety of systems have been fielded that allow us to gather and process unprecedented amounts of data about the physical world. But this progress has also exposed many new challenges and opportunities. This talk will draw on my lab’s efforts in designing, deploying, and commercializing wireless sensors for a range of applications. The march of technology and evolution of these efforts—from seemingly trivial connected sensors with simple cloud analytics to more complex networked sensors with sophiscated sensing and communications to sustainable perceptual networks that perform multi-spectral data fusion and inference at the edge to detect complex but sparse faults—has highlighted numerous exciting directions ripe for attention from the research community.
