Seminarium 26 september: Next Generation Emergency IoT Sensors
2016-09-26Rodney Clarke (Wollongong) tar här ett teoretiskt grepp på system skapade av Internet of Things-prylar och skissar hur designmönster för sådana nätverk kan se ut.
Developments in technology enable the construction of cheap and accurate emergency sensors. These sensors can provide improved ground truth for models or quantitative evidence to check against trends in social media. By using low power, long range network architectures and appropriate IoT communication protocols extensive sensor networks can be developed at relatively low cost.
Usually the sensors in these networks are assumed to be simple while the intelligence is located in the cloud services that bind them together. However, the devices can be sophisticated. This begs the question of what else can be done with them. In this talk we consider the use of these nodes to provide emergency communication to citizens and also elicit their experiences of previous events. Functional linguistic theory is used to design patterns of emergency communication and elicitation.
