This document discusses the concept of smart dust, which are tiny electronic devices designed to capture environmental data. Smart dust motes would be cubic millimeters in size and contain sophisticated sensors, tiny computers, and wireless communicators. They could monitor things like light, sound, temperature and chemical composition as they float through the air, transmitting data back to a base station miles away. Key requirements for smart dust include advances in miniaturization, integration and energy management due to their small size. The motes must efficiently manage power from small batteries or solar cells and operate components intermittently to conserve energy.
Harvesting Energy for the Internet of ThingsAmala Putrevu
Harvesting energy for the Internet of Things is the primary challenge that engineers of today face. Through this presentation we bring to you two models of sensors that use piezoelectric energy harvesting to generate the required power.
Self-generating devices can truly make the Internet of Things a reality.
Linda Drabik - Energy harvesting for IoTWithTheBest
As sensors and actuators are deployed in increasing numbers across greater distances, autonomous devices will become more ubiquitous. For systems that require longer life than a primary battery can deliver, Energy Harvesting offers a promising solution.
Energy Harvesting (EH) is the process by which ambient energy is captured from one or more energy sources and stored for later use. It enables autonomous sensors or switches to perpetually run with little to no maintenance, eliminating the need for connection to an electric grid and overcoming limitations of a battery-only power source with limited energy storage.
While the cost of buying and disposing batteries is a significant consideration, it’s the operational drain of maintenance that makes Energy Harvesting a particularly attractive solution for IoT.
In this presentation:
- Energy Harvesting solutions, including those that convert sources such as light, vibration, and heat into electricity (solar cells, piezoelectric devices, and thermoelectric generators).
- Key considerations for an Energy Harvesting terminal, including optimal capacitor size.

Street lighting accounts for 53% of outdoor lighting use, and the market is continuously increasing. In the context of rising energy prices and growing environmental awareness, energy efficiency is becoming one of the most important criteria for street lighting systems design. Monitoring of street lights and controlling is of utmost importance in developing country like India to reduce the power consumption. The world is converging towards wireless as a communication channel and at the same time facing energy and environmental problems .The paper presents a remote streetlight monitoring and controlling system based on LED and wireless sensor network. The system can be set to run in automatic mode, which control streetlight. This control can make a reasonable adjustment according to the seasonal variation. Also this system can run in controlled mode. In this mode, we can take the initiative to control streetlights through PC monitor terminal. This street light system also includes a time cut-out function, and an automatic control pattern for even more electricity conserving, namely when vehicles pass by, the light will turn on automatically, later turn off. This design can save a great amount of electricity compared to streetlamps that keep a light during nights. The design implements traffic flow magnitude statistics without adding any hardware, facilitating transportation condition information collecting. Furthermore, this system has auto-alarm function which will set off if any light is damaged and will show the serial number of the damaged light, thus it is easy to be found and repaired the damaged light. The system can be widely applied in all places which need timely control such as streets, stations, mining, schools, and electricity sectors and so on. In addition, the system integrates a digital temperature and humidity sensor, not only monitoring the streetlight but also temperature and humidity

An overview of how Wireless Sensor Networks are being extended to a system which has tremendous capabilities. The future is all about Smart Dust. Trillions of sensors may be planted across the world to improve the ecosystem as well as the lives of human beings. Although the aim of reducing the volume to orders of micrometer has not yet been fulfilled, considerable developments have been made to build motes that combine sensing, computing, wireless communication capabilities and autonomous power supply within volume of only few millimeters and that too at low cost.
"Smart dust"are tiny wireless micro electromechanical sensors (MEMS) that can detect everything from light to vibrations.

After many requests during our meetups we have decided to focus a webinar about IoT/M2M sensors and security risks and issues. We will discuss about the various types of sensors, the conversion to digital data, security objectives and issues.
When deploying Internet of Things and machine-to-machine application devices, the connected device generally needs to report more than just its physical location. There is a universe of sensors and devices, we will talk about the more common ones.
In her keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2015, the US Federal Trade Commission Chairperson Edith Ramirez noted “any device that is connected to the Internet is at risk of being hijacked.” Whether that device is a smartphone, an automobile infotainment system, an automated diabetes monitor, or a GPS-guided farm tractor, specific protections for security of Internet of Things and machine-to-machine devices and applications must be built into the entire solution. We will talk about the basic requirements of security implementations and the different methods commonly used to increase the overall security of IoT/M2M data and applications.
These slides discuss the falling cost of sensors, MEMs, and the Internet of Things. The costs of MEMs, transceivers and other components are falling and making the IoT economically feasible. These slides discusses these cost reductions in detail and many examples of how the IoT is emerging for many types of industrial products.
Smart Sensor Configuration for Security System Automation Using FPGAIJTET Journal
Abstract--- Automation in industrial control and monitoring systems plays a vital role in maintaining smooth work environment and handling perilous situation that may occur in work area. The available systems mostly use physical cables for signal transfer between the sensors and the control system. These systems have some significant problems such as the cable installation and maintenance costs associated with moving and replacement of cables during machinery maintenance, configuration and re-configuration. While the technological evolution of sensors is reflected in sensors getting smart, small, light weight, and cheapest, another key development is taking place in the sensors industry in the growth of wireless sensor use in industrial applications. The proposed wireless sensor-based controls provide industry attention in order to reduce costs, better power management and ease in maintenance. Wireless sensors have been successfully implemented in many industrial applications because of its performance, monitoring, security development and control the sensor system etc.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024
Smartdust
1. Definition
The current ultramodern technologies are focusing on automation and miniaturization. The
decreasing computing device size, increased connectivity and enhanced interaction with the
physical world have characterized computing's history. Recently, the popularity of small
computing devices, such as hand held computers and cell phones; rapidly flourishing internet
group and the diminishing size and cost of sensors and especially transistors have accelerated
these strengths. The emergence of small computing elements, with sporadic connectivity and
increased interaction with the environment, provides enriched opportunities to reshape
interactions between people and computers and spur ubiquitous computing researches.
Smart dust is tiny electronic devices designed to capture mountains of information about their
surroundings while literally floating on air. Nowadays, sensors, computers and communicators
are shrinking down to ridiculously small sizes. If all of these are packed into a single tiny device,
it can open up new dimensions in the field of communications.
The idea behind 'smart dust' is to pack sophisticated sensors, tiny computers and wireless
communicators in to a cubic-millimeter mote to form the basis of integrated, massively
distributed sensor networks. They will be light enough to remain suspended in air for hours. As
the motes drift on wind, they can monitor the environment for light, sound, temperature,
chemical composition and a wide range of other information, and beam that data back to the base
station, miles away.
MAJOR COMPONENTS AND REQUIREMENTS
Smart Dust requires both evolutionary and revolutionary advances in miniaturization,
integration, and energy management. Designers can use microelectromechanical systems to build
small sensors, optical communication components, and power supplies, whereas
microelectronics provides increasing functionality in smaller areas, with lower energy
consumption. The power system consists of a thick-film battery, a solar cell with a charge-
integrating capacitor for periods of darkness, or both. Depending on its objective, the design
integrates various sensors, including light, temperature, vibration, magnetic field, acoustic, and
wind shear, onto the mote. An integrated circuit provides sensor-signal processing,
communication, control, data storage, and energy management. A photodiode allows optical data
reception. There are presently two transmission schemes: passive transmission using a corner-
cube retro reflector, and active transmission using a laser diode and steerable mirrors.
The mote's minuscule size makes energy management a key component. The integrated circuit
will contain sensor signal conditioning circuits, a temperature sensor, and A/D converter,
microprocessor, SRAM, communications circuits, and power control circuits. The IC, together
with the sensors, will operate from a power source integrated with the platform.The MEMS
industry has major markets in automotive pressure sensors and accelerometers, medical sensors,
and process control sensors. Recent advances in technology have put many of these sensor
processes on exponentially decreasing size, power, and cost curves. In addition, variations of
MEMS sensor technology are used to build micro motors.
WORKING OF SMART DUST
The smart dust mote is run by a microcontroller that not only determines the task performed by
the mote, but consists of the power to the various components of the system to conserve energy.
2. Periodically the micro controller gets a reading from one of the sensors, which measure one of a
number of physical or chemical stimuli such as temperature, ambient light, vibration,
acceleration, or air pressure, process the data, and store it in memory. It also turns on optical
receiver to see if anyone is trying to communicate with it. This communication may include new
programs or messages from other motes. In response to a message or upon its own initiative, the
microcontroller will use the corner cube retro reflector or laser to transmit sensor data or a
message to a base station or another mote.
The primary constraint in the design of the Smart Dust motes is volume, which in turn puts a
severe constraint on energy since we do not have much room for batteries or large solar cells.
Thus, the motes must operate efficiently and conserve energy whenever possible.
Most of the time, the majority of the mote is powered off with only a clock and a few timers
running. When a timer expires, it powers up a part of the mote to carry out a job, then powers
off. A few of the timers control the sensors that measure one of a number of physical or chemical
stimuli such as temperature, ambient light, vibration, acceleration, or air pressure. When one of
these timers expires, it powers up the corresponding sensor, takes a sample, and converts it to a
digital word. If the data is interesting, it may either be stored directly in the SRAM or the
microcontroller is powered up to perform more complex operations with it. When this task is
complete, everything is again powered down and the timer begins counting again.
