09:00 - 10:00 – Invited Talk: Title: Social Network Signal Processing - Tarek Abdelzaher, UIUC
Abstract: The talk addresses the question of whether social networks, such as Twitter, can be explored as a novel sensing modality in emerging sensing applications in social spaces. According to the United Nations, today, 54% of the world population lives in cities. This percentage will increase to 66% by 2050. Arguably, humans are some of the most versatile and widely deployed "sensors" in urban spaces. They are the owners and users of "smart things" on the Internet of Things; the survivors and first-responders in post-disaster operations; the commuters in intelligent transportation applications; and the witnesses of suspicious activity in national security scenarios. These individuals may relay important information such as real-time state of traffic around recent accidents, locations of spreading post-disaster damage such as flooding or fires, real-time progress of unfolding unpredictable gatherings (e.g., demonstrations and protests), and unusual events that impact safety. Today, such observations are voluntarily shared on social media, leading to the prospect of exploiting social media as state observers of the physical world. Social sources already volunteer to post over 500 million tweets and over 40 million Instagram photos per day, among many other social network outlets. This talk presents the utility of exploiting signal processing techniques common to physical sensing modalities in order to reconstruct aspects of the state of the physical world from social network feeds. We demonstrate that, as a sensing modality, social sensing is not unlike acoustic sensing, vibration sensing, or magnetic sensing. A mathematical analogy is presented between social networks and physical media that allows adaptation of signal processing algorithms derived for the latter to solve novel challenges observed in the former. The talk describes examples of event identification and tracking using Twitter and Instagram data, and presents the underlying analytical foundations.

Bio: Tarek Abdelzaher received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1999 on Quality of Service Adaptation in Real-Time Systems. He is currently a Professor and Willett Faculty Scholar at the Department of Computer Science, the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. He has authored/coauthored more than 170 refereed publications in real-time computing, distributed systems, sensor networks, and control. He is an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Real-Time Systems, and has served as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, IEEE Embedded Systems Letters, the ACM Transaction on Sensor Networks, and the Ad Hoc Networks Journal. He chaired (as Program or General Chair) several conferences in his area including RTAS, RTSS, IPSN, Sensys, DCoSS, ICDCS, and ICAC. Abdelzaher's research interests lie broadly in understanding and influencing performance and temporal properties of networked embedded, social and software systems in the face of increasing complexity, distribution, and degree of interaction with an external physical environment. Tarek Abdelzaher is a recipient of the IEEE Outstanding Technical Achievement and Leadership Award in Real-time Systems (2012), the Xerox Award for Faculty Research (2011), as well as several best paper awards. He is a member of IEEE and ACM.
