Research
Themes A versatile
collection of new research directions are started in this group, ranging from
Social Sensing, Sensor Networks, and applications of the Future Internet to
Green Computing and performance optimization in Data Centers. They share one
fundamental premise: tomorrow, computing will be much more integrated with
the physical and social environment. Computing systems will interact with
physical ones in time, space, energy, and performance dimensions. Humans will
be an important part of the overall computing system. The new interactions
will require new theory, design tools, development paradigms, and run-time
support to handle challenges of distributed sensing, privacy, information
distillation, control, robustness, system troubleshooting, energy, and
sustainability, among others. |
