Life cycle management of phones and mobile devices

SOTI Inc.开发了世界领先的技术，解决了管理、保护、支持和跟踪远程移动和桌面计算设备方面的独特挑战。今天，全球超过12,000家客户--零售、制造、医疗保健、政府、物流和众多其他行业--依赖移动设备管理行业内的SOTI软件产品。由于SOTI的平台主要运行在移动设备上，因此对SOTI来说，关注设备的健康状况是很重要的。拟议中的移动设备生命周期管理研究将在两个方面提供帮助：a)使用智能手机的内置传感器监控设备的物理健康状况；b)使用雾化或边缘计算形式的设备上计算来监控网络安全和防范恶意威胁。这项拟议的研究涉及建立在谢里登学院和SOTI公司之间通过以前的NSERC赠款建立的牢固关系上。我们希望通过在生命周期管理领域为移动设备开发创新解决方案，继续与SOTI建立丰富的合作关系。拟议研究的好处包括技术解决方案，这些解决方案将为SOTI及其客户展示创新和商业化的潜在途径。这项研究的结果将为SOTI的客户提供有关其移动设备的完整健康信息，以便其能够以最佳方式运行。除了身体健康，建议的解决方案还将关注网络安全，以便客户可以了解他们的网络连接和潜在威胁。对研究学科的好处包括可以传播和转让给当地、地区、省和国家的加拿大公司的新知识和专业知识。

SOTI Inc. develops world-leading technology that solves the unique challenges involved in managing,securing, supporting and tracking remote mobile and desktop computing devices. Today, more than 12,000customers around the world - in retail, manufacturing, healthcare, government, logistics and numerous other industries - rely on SOTI software products within the mobile device management industry. As the SOTI'splatform runs mostly on mobile devices, it is important for SOTI to look after the health of devices. Theproposed research in life cycle management of mobile devices will help in two ways: a) monitor the physical health of devices using built-in sensors of a smartphone and b) monitor network security and safeguard from malicious threats using on-device computing in the form of fog or edge computing. This proposed researchinvolves building on the strong relationship established between Sheridan College and SOTI Inc. throughprevious NSERC grants. We envision continuing the rich collaboration established with SOTI by developing innovative solutions for mobile devices in the area of life cycle management. The benefits of the proposedresearch include technology solutions that will showcase potential pathways to innovation andcommercialization for SOTI and their clients. The outcome of this research will provide SOTI's client withcomplete health information about their mobile devices so that it can perform optimally. Along with thephysical health, the proposed solution will also look after network security so clients can be aware of theirnetwork connectivity and potential threats. The benefits to the research discipline include new knowledge and expertise that can be disseminated and transferred to Canadian companies locally, regionally, provincially, and nationally.
