Emergency situations present some of the most challenging and unusual scenarios for sensing and scene understanding; yet, it is in these situations, where situation awareness is of paramount importance and where technology is needed the most to help protect human lives. In this talk, I will present some of the key challenges faced by sensing and machine learning algorithms in emergency situations, including lack of pre-installed sensing infrastructure, lack of training data, sensor failure, and limited visibility and connectivity. I will then present recent research directions that we have pursued to address these challenges including multi-modal sensing, cross modality training and human-robot interaction.

Scene Understanding in Emergency Applications: Challenges and Lessons Learnt

Current developments show that soon the wide availability of low cost, short-range and long-range radio technology, along with advances in wireless networking, will enable wireless adhoc sensor networks to become commonly deployed. In these networks, each node may be equipped with a variety of sensors, such as acoustic, seismic, infrared, motion, biomedical and chemical sensors with a higher level of information to enable inference associated with identification, embedded signal processing and networking. This conference intends to be the meeting point of researchers and practitioners to share experiences and ideas on innovative developments in any aspect of sensor networks, including Hardware of Sensor Networks, Wireless Communication Protocols, Sensor Networks Software and Architectures, Wireless Information Networks, Data Manipulation, Signal Processing, Localization and Object Tracking through Sensor Networks, Machine Learning in sensor networks leading to resource optimizations and many Applications.

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a great opportunity to connect people, information, and things, which will in turn cause a paradigm shift in the way we work, interact, and think. The IoT is envisioned as the enabling technology for smart cities, power grids, health care, and control systems for critical installments and public infrastructure. This diversity, increased control and interaction of devices, and the fact that IoT systems use public networks to transfer large amounts of data make them a prime target for cyber attacks. In addition, IoT devices are usually small, low cost and have limited resources. Therefore, any protocol designed for IoT systems should not only be secure but also efficient in terms of usage of chip area, energy, storage, and processing. This presentation will start by highlighting the unique security requirements of IoT devices and the inadequacy of existing security protocols and techniques of the Internet in the context to IoT systems. Next, we will focus on security solutions for the IoT, with special focus on protection against physical and side channel attacks. In particular, we will focus on mutual authentication protocols for IoT devices based on security primitives that exploit hardware level characteristics of IoT devices.
