Students will be provided with research papers on technologies for blind, hearing impaired and cloud computing systems through a competitive grant from Yahoo, students will have access to Yahoo's powerful cloud computing cluster. The student can use the open-source identity management prototype called PRIME (Privacy and Identity Management for Europe) and adapt it to be applied to a cloud computing environment. We hope to build: Mobile Navigation and Awareness Server (mNAS), which will be based on the Android Mobile Platform and the Cloud Navigation and Awareness Server (cNAS). We will study integrated location sensing module (GPS receiver) that will be responsible for local navigation, local obstacle detection and avoidance, as well as interacting with the user as well as the cloud side. The cloud will mainly be used for computationally intensive tasks such as image processing and speech recognition (to provide a fully speech-based interface to the blind user) as well as location based services such as public transportation schedule to provide full context awareness to the users. Technologies that assist the hearing impaired will be studied. Guest speakers will be invited to class.
Main objective of this seminar class is to develop technologies that can help blind and hearing impaired persons. The students will read research papers and develop projects and write a report at the end of semester. The course will study all aspects of Cloud computing system including issues of virtualization, multi-tenancy, privacy, security.
Privacy in cloud computing is the ability of user to control what information they reveal about themselves over the cloud or to a cloud service provider, and the ability to control who can access that information. Identity management (IDM) is the central component in cloud privacy and security. Cloud requires a user-centric access control where every user's request for any provider is accompanied with the user identity and entitlement information. The focus in this seminar is to provide privacy via a standard system in the form of a middleware agent, which mediates interactions between entities communicating over the cloud.
The student projects will aim to develop a navigation system for the blind and visually impaired people, which will bring their quality of life to higher standards by providing maximal context-awareness in both indoor and outdoor environments. We will use the power of Mobile and Cloud Computing to develop an easy to use, portable, affordable device that provides extensibility to accommodate new services to help in high quality navigation as they become available. The existing high technology navigation aids for the blind and visually impaired lack the contextual information necessary for user safety and for reducing confusion and uncertainty during navigation. They do not make use of the wealth of information and services available on the World Wide Web for the places and surroundings.
