    Real-Time Reliable Internet of Things
    Vana Kalogeraki (Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece)

    Abstract
    The massive urban availability in real-time, the ubiquitous connectivity, the introduction in a large scale of the Internet of Things (IoT), are ushering a new era of urban living. People take active roles in sensing, instrumenting and analyzing aspects of their lives online, creating virtual communities, changing their social and working habits. To build smarter, better connected, more livable communities we need to exploit the availability of massive urban data and leverage the stream of real-time massive data flows generated by the IoT applications. In this talk we will discuss recent advances and exciting opportunities in two key aspects, in utilizing the human crowd, and in monitoring and analyzing in real-time massive, heterogeneous, noisy and often unlabeled urban data streams. We will focus mainly and draw our motivation from the following important types of applications in the smartcity domain: (a) urban disaster and emergency response, and (b) transportation systems. Specifically I will present a number of research challenges and novel techniques that can facilitate the realization of real-time reliable IoT by bringing together the analysis of IoT data and exploiting the wisdom of the human crowd to achieve both high quality results and meet real-time constraints.
