Invited Talks:
Crowdsourcing using Mechanical Turk: Quality Management and Scalability
by Prof. Panos Ipeirotis, George A. Kellner
Faculty Fellow,
Sensors,
Networks and Internet of Things – Research Challenges in Health Care
by Prof. Sounder Kumara,
Allen E. Pearce/Allen M. Pearce Chaired professor,
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are physical and engineered systems whose
operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled and integrated by a computing
and communication core. This intimate coupling between the cyber and physical
will be manifested from the nano-world to large-scale
wide-area systems. The internet transformed how humans interact and communicate
with one another, revolutionized how and where information is accessed, and
even changed how people buy and sell products. Similarly, CPS will transform
how humans interact with and control the physical world around us. Examples of
CPS include medical devices and systems, aerospace systems, transportation
vehicles and intelligent highways, defense systems, robotic systems, process
control, factory automation, building and environmental control and smart
spaces. CPS interact with the physical world, and must operate dependably,
safely, securely, and efficiently and in real-time.
This workshop, eighth in the IIWeb series, is focused on making the research in
information integration on the web more relevant to the challenges in cyber
physical systems that will be built to solve the critical problems that arise
when we want to build a sustainable ecosystem for life on our planet. The
workshop will continue its traditional themes of interest namely integration
architectures, information extraction, web object extraction, record linkage,
named entity extraction, source meta-data learning, query execution and optimization.
However, we will give special emphasis to how this can be applied to
integrating information arising from physical systems such as sensors deployed
to measure flow of traffic, or measure water consumption etc.
Topics of interest, include, but are not restricted to:
· Knowledge representation in cyber physical systems
· Challenges in efficiently managing sensor data
· Challenges with managing and integrating real-time and historical data
· Novel data acquisition mechanisms such as crowd sourcing
· Mining spatio-temporal patterns and prediction of future trends
· Issues in scaling out integration solutions
· Case Studies, successes, lessons learnt
· Sharing of data – policy needs, security concerns, incentives
