 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The vision of an interconnected world where wireless sensor, actuator and controllers are embedded everywhere is materializing. The next step in this evolution is to automatically act on the physical environment based on sensor measurements. Examples of such large-scale networked control systems are found in smart grids, intelligent transportation systems, process and automation industries, e-health, and in surveillance, monitoring and early-warning systems. Using current technologies these types of networks will create an unprecedented amount of raw data, which will soon exceed current storage and processing capabilities. Promising concepts such as compressive sensing, distributed compression, cooperative transmission networks, networked control, and information-theoretic security are emerging as potential enabling technologies. Together the program partners have expertise across these areas.

The objectives of the proposed collaborative exchange program are threefold. Firstly we aim to identify and solve relevant theoretical challenges in compression, transmission, networked control, and security by leveraging on the recognized complementarities and synergies between partners. Secondly we want to ensure a high level of collaboration and knowledge transfer across all partners such that we can jointly embark on grand challenges ahead. And thirdly, our proposed research is to a large extend relying on existing research projects of common interest to leverage new ground with a high potential for leading into new joint projects.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Major advances are fuelling the proliferation of wireless communication networks, raising new questions on information performance, capability and processing. An EU initiative is looking at potential enabling technologies to meet future needs.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Networked control systems (NCSs) easily combine global information to make intelligent decisions over large physical spaces. Such efficient data sharing over wireless communication networks makes taking globally intelligent control decisions easier. Applications are numerous, from factory automation and plant monitoring to computer networks in vehicles and robots.

With today's technology, NCSs generate vast amounts of raw data that will surpass current storage and processing capabilities. New developments in compressive sensing, distributed compression, cooperative transmission networks, networked control and information theoretic security hold promise.

With EU funding, the 'Enabling technologies for large-scale sensor and control networks' (TEASCONE) project is bringing together experts in these fields to identify and provide solutions for challenges in compression, transmission, networked control and security. The overall goal is to develop large-scale NCSs to meet the demands of the future. It relies on collaborative knowledge exchange and builds on the existing research outcomes of similar projects.

During the first reporting period, 70 scientific papers were published or submitted to high-profile journals. A solid research base has been established in the domains of distributed compressive sensing for sensor networks and data compression. Project members are looking into ways to link these two domains in order to be able to design large-scale sensor networks.

The team has also designed novel application codes for anytime communications that will undergo testing.

TEASCONE is performing cutting-edge research in NCSs. This should result in the enhancement of many potential applications spanning a wide range of industries.
