Technology succeeds when it is for the people. People centric sensing plays a major role in this context.
The
explosion of sensors and mobile phones and their interaction with human
life funnel a phenomenal amount of data through pervasive computing
environments. This data carries a lot of meaningful but hidden
information about the people and their environments. The MPSC group at
WSU analyze those data in an efficient manner, uncover those hidden
patterns, gauge the activity, behavior and interaction of the users and
present this to the users, society or application to understand the
human and system behavior better.
Analyzing
these data trails can support different applications in a novel way.
The applications may vary from personal and community healthcare (smart
home independent living, fitness and exercising), green computing
(building energy management, environment monitoring), urban sensing
(intelligent transportation system, natural resource management),
marketing industry (advertisement, consumer shopping habits) and after
all social networking.
We
particularly look into sensor data processing and data quality, sensor
communications and energy management, sensor-based data mining and
machine learning techniques, and intelligent decision making process to
observe and shape the user life. We do research and development for the
people centric applications and systems which help people to live their
lives better. |
