Title: "Data Management for Next Generation Wireless Sensor Networks"

Abstract:

I will discuss some of the recent developments in data management for
large networks of wireless sensor devices, focusing in particular on
aspects of work we are doing at MIT related to modeling and
summarization of sensor network data, as well as new applications
involving mobile devices collecting and transmitting data at high
rates.


Bio: 

Samuel Madden is the ITT Career Development Professor in the Computer
Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in the Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science Department at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.

His primary research focus is on database systems, particularly as
applied to querying data streams and networks of distributed devices
such as wireless sensor networks. He is also working on projects
related to probabilistic data management, wireless networking,
replication, and high-performance database architectures.

He earned his B.S. from MIT and his Ph.D. from University of
California, Berkeley.
