"Communication Technology in Large Scale Distributed Systems";
Vortrag: Energy Efficient Distributed Sensor Systems for the Internet of Things Joint Seminar Austria - Taiwan, Hsinchu, Taiwan (eingeladen); 08.05.2017 - 12.05.2017.

Little bits of sensing, small, distributed Internet of Things (IoT) capable devices are point by point being rolled out as single applications covering certain needs. Consequently, there are numerous individual devices containing valuable sensor information, without higher purpose. A holistic, organism like view on a multitude of different devices participating as little parts of a large scale distributed system, can enable additional benefits for the owner or even the economy as a whole when working together in a coordinated way. Gamification, environmental consciences, or monetary benefits are only a few approaches to foster user acceptance and participation to provide anonymized sensor data out of such a cyber-physical system. Technologically, the devices need to communicate and be updated in the field not only for safety and security reasons, but also for functional updates. This mechanism can be used to exchange overall optimization goals, to react to emerging security and privacy challenges, or for adapting to different kinds of acquired information being acquired, processed and stored, additional to the application the devices were installed for. Certificate based, comprehensive information platform models, as well as blockchain technology or peer-to-peer-service based distributed systems are all relevant approaches of to such a system to be discussed.
