Title: Quality over quantity: modeling value of information in sensor networks

Abstract: The physical limits of the functionality of sensor networks affect more the  wireless transmission than the sensing ability. To put it simply: a sensor network can collect much more data then it can transmit to its customer. In this talk, we argue that there are significant disparities in the value of different chunks of information, and techniques which choose data to transmit based on its potential value to the customer can significantly increase the utility of the network. We outline two application scenarios and approaches for value of information-based data routing. We conclude with a research agenda for future work.

Title: IoT and Cloud Computing change phase in local communications

Abstract: The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing (CC) is changing the domain in which objects can communicate, share data, and grant access to one another. One such prominent domain is the local communication domain. Having objects networked with one another and with surrounding networking devices viz. access points, gateways, routers, satellites, etc. will have a great impact on the local communication domain and the major role it plays in today’s world; from providing rich connectivity to realizing sensory and actuary applications.
