Sensor Cloud: Sensing-as-a-Service Paradigm

Abstract

Traditional model of computing with wireless sensors/devices imposes restrictions on how efficiently these devices can be used due to resource constraints. Newer models for interacting with wireless sensors/devices such as Internet of Things and Sensor Cloud aim to overcome these restrictions. In this seminar, I will discuss sensor cloud architectures, which enable different wireless sensor and IoT networks, spread in a huge geographical area to connect together and be used by multiple users at the same time on demand basis. I will further discuss how virtual sensors assist in creating a multiuser environment on top of resource constrained physical wireless sensors and can help in supporting multiple applications on-demand basis. I will discuss security, privacy and data integrity and other security issues in sensor cloud as well as risk assessment in sensor cloud applications.
