Communication-Efficient Distributed Monitoring of Thresholded Counts

Overview Monitoring is an issue of primary concern in current and next generation networked systems. The objective of sensor networks is to monitor their surroundings for a variety of different applications like atmospheric conditions, wildlife behavior, and troop movements among others. Similarly, monitoring in data networks is critical not only for accounting and management, but also for detecting anomalies and attacks. Such monitoring applications are inherently continuous and distributed, and must be designed to minimize the communication overhead that they introduce. In this context this paper introduces and studies a fundamental class of problems called "Thresholded counts" where one must return the aggregate frequency count of an event that is continuously monitored by distributed nodes with a user-specified accuracy whenever the actual count exceeds a given threshold value.

2015: RFID is all over - make way for super RFID

Instead of passive tags, which simply store information, sensor networks can be used to monitor conditions and record that data, and, if necessary, set off an alert if a condition moves beyond certain criteria.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
