Hamed Haddadi from Imperial College London will be delivering a seminar hosted by Horizon on Wednesday 6 December:
User-Centric Personal Data Analytics on the Edge
3.30pm – Wednesday 6 December 2017
A25 Business School South
Cakes and refreshments will be provided after the talk
"In this talk, I discuss the ways in which we can utilize edge-computing to improve the scalability and privacy of user-centered analytics in the context of Databox project. I present a hybrid framework where edge devices and resources centered around the user, collectively referred to as fog, can complement the cloud for providing privacy-aware, yet accurate and efficient analytics. I present the evaluations of the proposed framework on a number of exemplar applications, and discuss the broader implications of such approaches for future systems".
