SUMMARY:Research Challenges and Solutions for IOT/CPS - John A. Stankovic

DESCRIPTION:As the Internet of Things (IoT) matures and supports increasin
 gly sophisticated applications\, the research needs for IoT also expand co
 nsiderably. This talk discusses several major research challenges for the 
 future IoT where billions or even trillions of devices are connected to th
 e Internet. A brief discussion on the relationship of IoT\, to Cyber Physi
 cal Systems (CPS)\, and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is presented. Resea
 rch topics covered include systems of systems\, massive scaling\, and IoT 
 for healthcare. Smart cities are used to present examples of new system of
  system research issues and their solutions. Scaling and long time mainten
 ance problems give rise to the need for runtime validation. How to accompl
 ish this is presented. We use the Internet of Healthcare Things to identif
 y the realisms that must be addressed in real home deployments. We also di
 scuss the problems and solutions for using speech as a major sensing modal
 ity for smart healthcare. The list of topics is not meant to be comprehens
 ive\, but does address some of the main research issues in IoT/CPS. \n\nBi
 o: Professor John A. Stankovic is the BP America Professor in the Computer
  Science Department at the University of Virginia. He served as Chair of t
 he department for 8 years. He is a Fellow of both the IEEE and the ACM. He
  has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the University of York for hi
 s work on real-time systems. He won the IEEE Real-Time Systems Technical C
 ommittee's Award for Outstanding Technical Contributions and Leadership.  
 He also won the IEEE Technical Committee on Distributed Processing's Disti
 nguished Achievement Award (inaugural winner). He has seven Best Paper awa
 rds\, including one for ACM SenSys 2006. He also has four Best Paper Runne
 r Up Awards\, including one for IPSN 2013. Stankovic has an h-index of 115
  and over 52\,000 citations. In 2015 he was awarded the Univ. of Virginia 
 Distinguished Scientist Award\, and in 2010 the School of Engineering’s 
 Distinguished Faculty Award. He also received a Distinguished Faculty Awar
 d from the University of Massachusetts. He has given more than 40 Keynote 
 talks at conferences and many Distinguished Lectures at major Universities
 . He also served on the National Academy’s Computer Science Telecommunic
 ations Board. He was the Editor-in-Chief for the IEEE Transactions on Dist
 ributed and Parallel Systems and was founder and co-editor-in-chief for th
 e Real-Time Systems Journal. His research interests are in real-time syste
 ms\, wireless sensor networks\, smart and connected health\, cyber physica
 l systems\, and the Internet of Things. Prof. Stankovic received his PhD f
 rom Brown University.
