• Computing Seminar: Low Code IoT Middleware for Gait Velocity Monitoring at Home

  30 August 2017, 14:00 - 15:00

  Title:  Low Code IoT Middleware for Gait Velocity Monitoring at Home Abstract: Gait velocity has become a valid and important metric for senior populations. However, existing approaches to measure gait velocity are either limited to specific location or too expensive to be applied. IoT middleware allows the systems to collect data in...

• Fine-Grained Access Control via Policy-Carrying Data by Prof. Vasconcelos

  03 August 2017, 15:00 - 16:00

  Abstract: We address the problem of associating access policies with datasets and how to monitor compliance via policy-carrying data. Our contributions are a formal model in first-order logic inspired by normative multi-agent systems to regulate data access, and a computational model for the validation of specific use cases and the...
