Abstract
The TerraSwarm Research Center, launched on January 15, 2013, is addressing the huge potential (and associated risks) of pervasive integration of smart, networked sensors and actuators into our connected world. The project is about what people are calling "the swarm," which is the collection of millions of smart devices that are able to sense properties of the physical world around them and are able to affect the physical world around them. These devices are getting deployed in large numbers today, making measurements of temperature, humidity, and air quality, observing motion of people through video surveillance, listening for sounds, etc. But more interestingly, these devices are getting networked, either wirelessly or through wires, so that they can access each other's information, can interact with computers and hand-held devices, and they can interact with the computing infrastructure in "the cloud."
