Finding event correlations in federated wireless sensor networks
Due to copyright restrictions, the access to the full text of this article is only available via subscription.Event correlation engines help us find events of interest inside raw sensor data streams and help reduce the data volume, simultaneously. This paper discusses some of the challenges faced in finding event correlations over federated wireless sensor networks (WSNs) including high data volumes, uncertain or missing data, application-specific dependencies and widely varying data ranges and sampling frequencies. Analysisover real geo-tracking data of moving objects confirms some of these challenges. Federation at the data layer above the WSNs is presented as a feasible alternative.TÜBİTAK ; IBM Shared University Research program ; European Commissio
A Survey on Multisensor Fusion and Consensus Filtering for Sensor Networks
Multisensor fusion and consensus filtering are two fascinating subjects in the research of sensor networks. In this survey, we will cover both classic results and recent advances developed in these two topics. First, we recall some important results in the development ofmultisensor fusion technology. Particularly, we pay great attention to the fusion with unknown correlations, which ubiquitously exist in most of distributed filtering problems. Next, we give a systematic review on several widely used consensus filtering approaches. Furthermore, some latest progress on multisensor fusion and consensus filtering is also presented. Finally,
conclusions are drawn and several potential future research directions are outlined.the Royal Society of the UK, the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61329301, 61374039, 61304010, 11301118, and 61573246, the Hujiang Foundation of China under Grants C14002

Federated Learning in Intelligent Transportation Systems: Recent Applications and Open Problems
Intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) have been fueled by the rapid
development of communication technologies, sensor technologies, and the
Internet of Things (IoT). Nonetheless, due to the dynamic characteristics of
the vehicle networks, it is rather challenging to make timely and accurate
decisions of vehicle behaviors. Moreover, in the presence of mobile wireless
communications, the privacy and security of vehicle information are at constant
risk. In this context, a new paradigm is urgently needed for various
applications in dynamic vehicle environments. As a distributed machine learning
technology, federated learning (FL) has received extensive attention due to its
outstanding privacy protection properties and easy scalability. We conduct a
comprehensive survey of the latest developments in FL for ITS. Specifically, we
initially research the prevalent challenges in ITS and elucidate the
motivations for applying FL from various perspectives. Subsequently, we review
existing deployments of FL in ITS across various scenarios, and discuss
specific potential issues in object recognition, traffic management, and
service providing scenarios. Furthermore, we conduct a further analysis of the
new challenges introduced by FL deployment and the inherent limitations that FL
alone cannot fully address, including uneven data distribution, limited storage
and computing power, and potential privacy and security concerns. We then
examine the existing collaborative technologies that can help mitigate these
challenges. Lastly, we discuss the open challenges that remain to be addressed
in applying FL in ITS and propose several future research directions
Exploiting contextual handover information for versatile services in NGN environments.
Users in ubiquitous and pervasive computing environments will be much more empowered in ways to access and to control their navigation. Handover, the vital event in which a user changes the attachment point in a Next Generation Network (NGN), is an important occasion and the conditions and environment in which it is executed can offer relevant information for businesses. This paper describes the capabilities of a platform which intends to exploit contextual handover information offering a rich environment that can be used by access and content providers for building innovative context-aware multi-provided services. Based on ontologies, the technique not only eases the building of versatile services but also provides a comprehensive source of information both for
enriching user navigation in the network as well as
for the improvement of the provider’s relationship
with their customers
Analysis of Social Network Data Mining for Security Intelligence Privacy Machine Learning
The Modern communication on the Internet platform is most responsive through social media. Social media has changed and is still reshaping how we share our thoughts and emotions in communication. It has introduced a constant real-time communication pattern that was before unheard of. Young and old, organizations, governmental agencies, professional associations, etc., all have social media accounts that they use exclusively for communication with other users. Social media also acts as a powerful network engine that connects users regardless of where they are in the world. The development of global communication will greatly benefit from the availability of this new communication platform in the future. Consequently, there is a pressing need to research usage trends. Therefore, it is vital to investigate social media platform usage trends in order to develop automated systems that intelligence services can use to help avert national security incidents. Through the use of social media data mining, this research study suggests an automated machine learning model that can improve speedy response to crises involving national and International security
