Collaborative coupling of sensing and actuation: uncertainty beyond querying

Abstract

This talk will present an opportunity for extending the role of spatio-temporal uncertainty beyond its traditional realm of data management. The main motivation is that, in practice, it is often the case that the devices that perform sensing/management are either within the same embedded system, or a closely coupled with the devices the perform actuation. However, the actuation (which typically implements some control logic) may have an additional impact on the system under consideration.
