Adaptive Information Cluster

1. Adaptive Information Cluster • A grouping of research PIs from 3 research centres: • Dermot Diamond (National Centre for Sensors Research, DCU); • Alan Smeaton, Noel O’Connor (Centre for Digital Video Processing, DCU); • Barry Smyth, Gregory O’Hare and Paddy Nixon (Smart Media Institute, UCD); • SFI-funded PIs and cohesion plus other, non-SFI activities; • AIC is operational 20 months and has 50+ researchers, 100 publications and €6m in additional funding; • Prior track records are almost 750 peer-reviewed publications, 23 patents, 2 spin-offs, 39 graduated PhDs and €21m in total research funding; • AIC existing collaborations with IBM Research (Watson), INTEL, MERL, Ericsson, Vodafone, SMEs like Innovada and ChangingWorlds and State Agencies (EPA, Marine Institute, EI, SFI);

2. Sensors LOAC Devices Integration Information Extraction Video Personalised Feedback Audio Adaptive Operation Agent Migration STAKEHOLDERS Primary Research and General Architecture • Application areas related to wireless … • sensor networks, environmental monitoring; • traffic monitoring, a.k.o. sensor network; • personal networks & wearables; • AIC has active, demonstrable projects in each.

3. AIC Future Areas of Research • AIC will continue to develop projects which leveragewireless networking as a service provision rather than doing foundational research in wireless networking per se; • Some AIC work will look at security and encryption in sensor nets but its not a huge focus; • In general, AIC will continue to push and stretch research in wireless networking and to develop applications on top of this; • AIC future areas of research will include  Applications of adaptive information processing;  Deployment of wirelesssensor networks for environmental applications; • Personal health and lifestyle/health applications; • Personal digital memory and other applications which integrate diverse information sources;
