TEC@Nimbus is part of the Nimbus Centre, Ireland’s only research centre dedicated to networked embedded electronics and software solutions. The Centre won nearly €3 million in research funding in 2012. With 50 dedicated staff working on 30 – 40 projects at any one time, the Centre acts as a “One Stop Shop” industry technology gateway offering complete system solutions for industry.

Do you want to develop new ideas in technology innovation for your company? Then come along to our Open Day. The Open Day will inform the innovation services offered to Start-ups, SMEs and large enterprises across Ireland. It will also be possible to see some technology demonstrations in our state-of the-art laboratory and network with some of our industry clients.

This is a free event and is open to Startups, SMEs, large multi-nationals, investors, relevant government agencies and professional service companies who want to develop or apply new ICT technologies in Energy, Water, Location Based Services or are interested in opportunities in the sectors. Tea/coffee available from 9.30am. See Agenda below. Register online at www.tec-centre.ie

Abstract:

Rapid advancements in smartphones, wireless sensors and mobile communications have led to the development of cyber-physical systems, smart environments, and pervasive computing with important applications in environmental, civilian, military, industry, and government sectors. Sensor networks and smartphones play significant roles in this context as they not only act as effective interface between physical and cyber worlds, but also bring in human social aspects. However, increasing scale and heterogeneity at all levels – users, devices, networking and computing technologies, information and services – implies a high degree of uncertainty in distributed control and operations of pervasive and cyber-physical systems, thereby posing significant challenges in providing desired information quality, assurance, and reliability for intelligent decision making. This is particularly important for applications like smart health care, smart energy management, and pervasive security.

This talk will examine uncertainty-driven unique challenges and opportunities in cyber-physical systems and smart environments, and their inter-winding relationships with pervasive computing and communications. The talk will be concluded with provocative thoughts, open issues and future directions of research.
