MRI: Development of an Information Assurance and Performance Infrastructure for the Internet of Things

该项目为物联网（IoT）开发信息保障和性能（IAP）基础设施，将传感和驱动嵌入通过互联网连接的日常物品中，有可能在智能城市、智能农业和应急响应管理等广泛领域支持更高水平的智能动态决策。IAP有望实现物联网安全和性能以及相关技术（例如，基于云的系统的强大数据存储方案和弹性供应算法）方面的项目。基础设施包括移动和嵌入式物联网设备、物联网边缘计算服务器、软件定义网络（SDN）交换机、高性能可靠的数据存储、实现研究通信协议的软件组件、弹性算法和物联网系统中的计算卸载。研究项目通过构建测试平台硬件、算法/协议/方案以及相应的软件实现来实现。所描述的项目将导致以下探索：物联网系统的可扩展可信架构和网络协议，物联网系统的基于角色的行为威胁检测方法，基于云的中心的弹性供应算法，以及加速恢复的风险感知故障识别。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project, developing an Information Assurance and Performance (IAP) Infrastructure for the Internet of Things (IoT) in which sensing and actuation is embedded in everyday objects connected via the Internet, has the potential to support an increased level of intelligent, dynamic decision making across a wide array of domains, such as smart cities, intelligent agriculture, and emergency response management. IAP is expected to enable projects in IoT security and performance and related technologies (e.g., robust data storage schemes and elastic provisioning algorithms for cloud based systems). The infrastructure consists of mobile and embedded IoT devices, IoT edge computing servers, software defined networking (SDN) switches, high performance and reliable data storage, software components implementing research communication protocols, elastic algorithms, and computational offloading in IoT systems. Research projects are enabled by the construction of the testbed hardware, algorithms/protocols/schemes, and the corresponding software implementation. The projects described should result in the exploration of: scalable & trustworthy architectures & networking protocols for IoT systems,role-based behavioral threat detection approaches for IoT systems, elastic provisioning algorithms for cloud-based centers, and risk-aware failure identification for expedited recovery.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
