Seminar: "IoT Smart Applications - Architecture, Development, Deployment"

Abstract: Smart applications leverage the benefits provided by the massive amount of data generated by thousands or millions of sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT). To realize the potential gains of analyzing an abundance of data, they have to deal with the inherently distributed nature of real-world IoT infrastructures, spanning multiple layers of fog, edge, and cloud computing. The main goal of this talk is to highlight and discuss challenges in architecting, developing, and deploying IoT Smart Applications, focusing on Smart Irrigation and Smart Drone Delivery as examples. Particularly, the SWAMP Project (swamp-project.org) will be used as an example of such challenges and some solutions developed for smart irrigation.

Short-bio: Carlos A. Kamienski is a Full Professor of Computer Science at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC, Brazil) and a visiting scholar at the University of Bologna. For eight years, he led the NUVEM Strategic Research Unit comprising faculty members and students working in smart societies, virtual sensations, connected mobility, extreme computing, and integrated universes. He was the Brazilian coordinator of SWAMP from 2017 to 2021 (swamp-project.org), an EU-Brazil collaborative research project that developed IoT-based methods and approaches for smart water management in precision irrigation. His current research interests include the Internet of Things, smart agriculture, smart cities, fog computing, network softwarization, and Future Internet.
