Abstract
Modern enabling technologies like the Internet of Things IoT and Cloud Computing have opened up more doors for emphasising the importance of the field of wireless Sensor Network. Research and development of concepts related to sensor networks are emphasising the various modes of communication including Cognitive networking, Opportunistic connectivity and Machine-to-Machine communication. Areas like data and reality mining, cyber-physical systems and others, with emphasis on spatio-temporal coverage, have started formulating highly complex dynamic systems. With the need for integrating the multiple subspaces and multiple phenomena, these systems are centred round federation of sensor clouds over the Internet.These systems are driving towards the smart cities and what has been referred to as the planet nervous system. While elements of the concept have started taking shape, there are significant operational and optimization challenges that need to be addressed. The talk will provide key highlights to the large scale systems organization and the role of key acting elements in facilitating efficient services. The roles of sensor clouds and related big data, the Internet and related IoT architecture and the virtual Cloud and related services will be discussed. Examples taken from the experience of AUT SeNSe research laboratory will be used for demonstrating the various aspects of the system architecture. Furthermore the talk will shed the light on the future directions of these technologies as it contributes to the fabrics of Smart Cities.
