2. A adaptive information cluster I C

3. The Adaptive Information Cluster  In addition to the academic partners, the AIC has industrial participation from:  University College Dublin  Dublin City University  Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs in Cambridge Mass.  Ericsson, Ireland  ChangingWorlds, Ireland  IBM Ireland  Approx €6m ($7m) over 4 years and a team of 100 researchers;

4. AIC has Three Research Themes 1.Adaptive Sensor Networks 2.Adaptive Media 3.Adaptive Utilization

6. Distributed Interpolation  In WSNs it is not always possible to deploy sensors in such a high density so as to be able to get an exact sensor reading at every desired point.  Need a mechanism to “guess” values at intermediate points between sensor nodes.  The agents on the motes cooperate to calculate interpolated temperatures between nodes.  Demonstration of this is available at the poster session.

7. Collaborations - NSRC & EPA Environmental Nervous System Chemical sensor implemented with the motes. Can detect the presence or absence of Chemicals specifically Acetic Acid. A new Collaboration has been initiated With the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Demonstration of this to follow at the poster presentation.

8. Collaborations - IBM T.J. Watson  Obstacle Modeling for Distributed Interpolation – IBM.  We have a model of the Park City Mall in Pennsylvania, which takes a cruifix format.  To accurately model the interpolation we will be modeling the mall with the walls as obstacles.  In Collaboration with Ron Ambrossio IBM Watson

10. Collaborative Agent Tuning Within ABLE this is known as the closed-loop control. Similarly the DIOS++ architecture consists of sensors and actuators, which monitor and adjust system state.
