Information Collection and Presentation Enriched by Remote Sensor Data Emil Gatial, Zoltán Balogh, Ladislav Hluchý Institute of Informatics, Slovak Academy of Sciences Bratislava, Slovakia

Overview Motivation Background – previous work and achievements Architecture overview Role of information collection User interface for information collection and integration of external sensor data Future work Sep 18th 2015 SISY 2015, Subotica, Serbia

Motivation Collect data from end-users and remote sensor devices Support end-users with up-to-date information using mobile devices Reducing the intermittent network connections Aggregate collected data at collector nodes Sep 18th 2015 SISY 2015, Subotica, Serbia

Background (1/2) FP6 SECRICOM project (2008-2012) “Seamless Communication for Crisis Management for EU safety” Secure and trusted communication for crisis management and first responders Secure Agent Infrastructure (SAI) concept was defined Trust was established on the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) base and extended by Secure Docking Module (SDM) Sep 18th 2015 SISY 2015, Subotica, Serbia

Background (2/2) FP7 REDIRNET project (2013-2016) “Emergency Responder Data Interoperability Network“ Focus on data interoperability between autonomous agencies REDIRNET should easily allow to share data among partner agencies Conceptualization and enhancement of information collection Sep 18th 2015 SISY 2015, Subotica, Serbia

REDIRNET Architecture REDIRNET Core Main Switch connects end-points according to defined permissions Data Storage contains backend data such as user information and end-point semantic description REDIRNET Gateway Container of REDIRNET plug-ins Plug-in implements API to exchange data using Main Switch Collaboration Portal Social network like user interface that allows creating virtual partnerships Sep 18th 2015 SISY 2015, Subotica, Serbia

SAI ~ General-purpose information collection framework Role of SAI in REDIRNET SAI ~ General-purpose information collection framework SAI Poll Management and Aggregation Service operates on the template-poll-channel concept (discussed in the next lecture) SAI Reply Collector platform Providing services for collecting data from various data sources SAI implements REDIRNET plugins to communicate with external resources Sep 18th 2015 SISY 2015, Subotica, Serbia

Reply Collector Platform Reply Collector component hosts the agents Agents are software entities running in agencies' computing environment. Message buffer feature allows collected data to be processed and sent in batches Reply Collector allows post-process collected data and providing information anonymization XMPP Reply Collector Implements XMPP protocol to communicate with mobile devices using Jabber server XMPP communication minimizes the effect of intermittent network connection Connects to REDIRNET partner agency to import remote data Sep 18th 2015 SISY 2015, Subotica, Serbia

Android Client (1/2) Main goal is to visualize the poll instances Interpretation Poll description in JSON format Data validation User poll management Actual poll instances History of polls Configuration interface Sep 18th 2015 SISY 2015, Subotica, Serbia

Android Client (2/2) Specify GPS location and area of interest on map Provide enhanced map component to visualize external data (e.g. sensor status) building floors special facility plans e.g. tunnels Sep 18th 2015 SISY 2015, Subotica, Serbia

Future Work Android Client Reply Collector Platform Definition of poll instances and templates Better poll instance management Channel management Reply Collector Platform Coordinated data collection from multiple reply collector platforms Sep 18th 2015 SISY 2015, Subotica, Serbia
