CSE Professor Sharma Chakravarthy has received a $275,000 grant from the National Science
Foundation to integrate stream processing with event processing to meet the needs of new
applications for intelligent home monitoring, accident monitoring on highways and in other areas.
Pervasive computing applications generate large volumes of data that
need to be processed in a timely manner. Sensor applications that
monitor fire hazards in buildings and continuous monitoring movement
of hazardous cargo are examples of such applications. Currently
these applications cannot be handled readily by either stream
processing, which provides processing of sensor data as it is generated, or
or event processing.
This project, which provides learning and research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate
students, proposes several novel approaches that have far reaching implications for environmental
monitoring and RFID-based applications. The grant is for three years.
Research results will be shared via the
project's Web site.
Dr. Chakravarthy is the director of the Information Technology Laboratory and the Distributed and Parallel Computing Cluster at UTA.
