IEEE IoT Workshop
ICASSP 2017 will host the 1st IEEE IoT Initiative Workshop on IoT Curricula. The IEEE IoT Initiative brings together twenty two IEEE Societies and Councils each of which has an active interest in IoT.
Thursday, March 9, 2017 |
The IEEE IoT Initiative is sponsoring the Workshop on Multi-disciplinary Curricula for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) in conjunction with the 42nd International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2017) to be held March 5-9th in New Orleans, LA. The purpose of the Workshop is to identify effective educational and training curricula for researchers, practitioners, and managers involved with the Internet-of-Things covering Undergraduate, Graduate, and Continuing Education.
The IoT promises to have a major impact on almost all verticals of the global economy. It is also likely to lead to significant changes is the engineering disciplines and how we approach the design, development, and operation of infrastructure, goods, and services. To prepare "students" for roles and careers in IoT, the Workshop will address:
›› An overview of IoT and where and how it will impact the demand for new knowledge and skills
›› Identification of roles in IoT that will emerge in research, government, and industry
›› Educational requirements that the roles will demand
›› Formulation of an approach for creating multi-disciplinary curricula that serve the needs of IoT researchers, practitioners, and managers
›› The launching of a community within IEEE to further develop educational approaches and materials

Anna Scaglione
Anna Scaglione is a Professor in electrical and computer engineering at Arizona State University. Prior to ASU, she was a Professor of electrical engineering from 2010 to 2014 and Associate Professor from 2008-2010 at the University of California at Davis. Before joining UC Davis Anna Scaglione was Assistant Professor (2001-2006) and then tenured Associate Professor at Cornell from 2006 to 2008. Prior to joining Cornell she was Assistant Professor at the University of New Mexico from 2000-2001. In 2006 she was visiting professor at EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, and in 2013 at Stanford University.
Her expertise is in the broad area of statistical signal processing for communication, electric power systems and networks. Her current research focuses on studying and enabling decentralized learning and signal processing in networks of sensors. She also focuses on sensor systems and networking models for cyber security in critical infrastructure and for the demand side management and reliable energy delivery and in other aspects at the intersection between intelligent infrastructure, information systems and social networks. Professor Anna Scaglione received her “Laurea” and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Rome, Italy in 1995 and 1999 respectively. She was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Minnesota in 2000. To date, Scaglione has mentored 12 Ph.D. graduates, 5 postdoctoral scholars and a number of master’s and undergraduate students. |
