Overview
The mission of the Center for Intelligent Networked Systems (CINS) is to make our world safer, smarter and healthier using intelligent, networked systems.
To accomplish this mission CINS is integrating research and technology in wireless sensor networks, data communication networks, information fusion, data mining, artificial intelligence, modeling and simulation, software engineering, high-performance computing, security and privacy, and bioinformatics.
The overall approach (shown below) is an integrated system involving the deployment of various types of sensors, collection of sensor data via robust and secure wireless networks, fusion of the sensor data with other networked data sources, mining this information for patterns, and using artificial intelligence to predict future behavior, detect anomalies and make decisions about the environment.
CINS is making our world safer by applying this approach to homeland security and defense environments to improve our ability to detect and preempt threats. CINS is making our world smarter by applying this approach to our homes and workplaces to improve productivity, supportiveness, adaptability and energy efficiency. CINS is making our world healthier by applying this approach to improve our ability to monitor environmental health, monitor personal health, connect doctors, patients and caregivers, collect behavioral data, and discover links between behavioral and biological data.
