Given a pre-declared itinerary of potential activities and sites for sensor placement within an environment, sensor selection involves choosing a set of sensors which can determine whether what actually occurs matches the ...
-
A useful capability is that of classifying some agent’s behavior using data from a sequence, or trace, of sensor measurements. The sensor selection problem involves choosing a subset of available sensors to ensure that, ...
-
This project explores the ways that data from sensors in power systems can be authenticated by enhancing the security of power systems from a cyber-physical point of view. This is a continuation of the work for the NSF ...
