On February 19, the RS Dallas Chapter, in conjunction with the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), co-sponsored a technical seminar titled "Data Acquisition and Computation of Big Sensory Data" by Professor Zhipeng Cai from Georgia State University, USA. The abstract of this talk is listed below:
The amount of sensory data manifests an explosive growth due to the increasing popularity of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The scale of sensory data in many applications has exceeded several petabytes annually, which is beyond the computation and transmission capabilities of conventional WSNs. This presentation first discusses the characteristics and challenges of the management of big sensory data. It then reviews some recent efforts by the speaker and his research group at Georgia State University, including 1) approximate data acquisition for physical world reconstruction, 2) kernel dataset extraction from big sensory data, and 3) integration model construction for multimodal sensory data.
The following photographs were taken during the seminar.
