CDBB West Cambridge Digital Twin: Lessons Learned

no code implementations30 Sep 2022 Justas Brazauskas, Matt Danish, Vadim Safronov, Rohit Verma, Richard Mortier, Ian Lewis

The report describes the digital architecture developed for the West Cambridge Digital Twin, particularly focussed on real-time sensor data collection and analysis with a privacy framework allowing occupants of the buildings to be first-class participants in the system.

Distributed data analytics

no code implementations26 Mar 2022 Richard Mortier, Hamed Haddadi, Sandra Servia, Liang Wang

A contrasting approach, distributed data analytics, where code and models for training and inference are distributed to the places where data is collected, has been boosted by two recent, ongoing developments: increased processing power and memory capacity available in user devices at the edge of the network, such as smartphones and home assistants; and increased sensitivity to the highly intrusive nature of many of these devices and services and the attendant demands for improved privacy.

Revisiting IoT Device Identification

1 code implementation16 Jul 2021 Roman Kolcun, Diana Andreea Popescu, Vadim Safronov, Poonam Yadav, Anna Maria Mandalari, Richard Mortier, Hamed Haddadi

Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices are known to be the source of many security problems, and as such, they would greatly benefit from automated management.

Data Management for Building Information Modelling in a Real-Time Adaptive City Platform

no code implementations8 Mar 2021 Justas Brazauskas, Rohit Verma, Vadim Safronov, Matthew Danish, Jorge Merino, Xiang Xie, Ian Lewis, Richard Mortier

Legacy Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems are not designed to process the high-volume, high-velocity data emitted by in-building Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensors.

The Case for Retraining of ML Models for IoT Device Identification at the Edge

no code implementations17 Nov 2020 Roman Kolcun, Diana Andreea Popescu, Vadim Safronov, Poonam Yadav, Anna Maria Mandalari, Yiming Xie, Richard Mortier, Hamed Haddadi

We therefore evaluate our approach using hardware resources and data sources representative of those that would be available at the edge of the network, such as in an IoT deployment.

Fast Flexible Paxos: Relaxing Quorum Intersection for Fast Paxos

1 code implementation6 Aug 2020 Heidi Howard, Aleksey Charapko, Richard Mortier

Fast Paxos bypasses the leader but has stronger quorum intersection requirements.

Paxos vs Raft: Have we reached consensus on distributed consensus?

1 code implementation10 Apr 2020 Heidi Howard, Richard Mortier

Raft's approach is surprisingly efficient given its simplicity as, unlike Paxos, it does not require log entries to be exchanged during leader election.

Network Service Dependencies in Commodity Internet-of-Things Devices

no code implementations25 Feb 2019 Poonam Yadav, Qi Li, Anthony Brown, Richard Mortier

We continue to see increasingly widespread deployment of IoT devices, with apparent intent to embed them in our built environment likely to accelerate if smart city and related programmes succeed.

A Generalised Solution to Distributed Consensus

no code implementations18 Feb 2019 Heidi Howard, Richard Mortier

Distributed consensus, the ability to reach agreement in the face of failures and asynchrony, is a fundamental primitive for constructing reliable distributed systems from unreliable components.

Probabilistic Synchronous Parallel

no code implementations22 Sep 2017 Liang Wang, Ben Catterall, Richard Mortier

Most machine learning and deep neural network algorithms rely on certain iterative algorithms to optimise their utility/cost functions, e. g. Stochastic Gradient Descent.

Personal Data: Thinking Inside the Box

no code implementations20 Jan 2015 Hamed Haddadi, Heidi Howard, Amir Chaudhry, Jon Crowcroft, Anil Madhavapeddy, Richard Mortier

We propose there is a need for a technical platform enabling people to engage with the collection, management and consumption of personal data; and that this platform should itself be personal, under the direct control of the individual whose data it holds.
