RAMMMNets 2016: Workshop on Real-time Analytics in Multi-latency, Multi-Party, Metro-scale Networks
RAMMMNets 2016: Workshop on Real-time Analytics in Multi-latency, Multi-Party, Metro-scale Networks
Co-Chairs: Chaitan Baru, U.S. National Science Foundation Stephen Dennis, U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Background
Many Internet-of-Things applications require real-time analytics for maintaining situational awareness and making decisions. Most real-world IoT environments will involve (a) multi-latency networks, due to heterogeneous network interconnections and (b) multi-party networks, since different IoT subnets may be deployed and/or owned by different entities. In this workshop, we will focus on IoT networks in metropolitan-scale areas, aka "metro-scale networks", that are expected to be widely prevalent in Smart City and Smart and Connected Community environments. Algorithms for real-time analytics in these environments must deal with complexities including, incomplete and missing data, e.g., due to subnet outages; erroneous data, e.g., due to hardware, network, software errors; and/or compromised data, e.g., due to cyber attacks. Applications will need to make decisions and take actions under these conditions.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Concepts and methods for multi-latency, multi-party networks: defining the scope of the problem
- Concepts, models and methods for identifying erroneous vs compromised data
- Application use cases
- Decision making with imperfect data, including "undo" concepts in decision making
- Real-world use cases and application scenarios
- Identification of theoretical as well as policy issues
- Creating regional/national/international research platforms/testbeds
- Developing curriculum and courseware for education and training
