Abstract
The overarching motivation of smart and connected systems (SCS) is to collect, transport and process data that drives decisions on how to best utilize resources, reduce cost and improve personal well-being and safety. SCS provide means to seamlessly observe our resources leading to sustainable and responsible communities. With the staggering growth in wirelessly connected systems, there exists a variety of deployment scenarios each having its own demands and requirements, thus artificially complicating the vision of a harmonized wirelessly interconnected ecosystem. The talk will discuss how recent advances in wireless computing and communication nodes can be harnessed to serve the multitude of deployment scenarios required to empower communities of the future with smart and connected systems.
