Look at the image to the right. How quickly were you able to realize the identity of the depicted object? The activity you just engaged in is called perception; and while people are able to perceive their environment almost instantaneously, and seemingly without effort, machines continue to struggle with the task. Currently, I am investigating how people are able to perceive the world so effectively; and developing an approximation of this process that can be formalized to better enable machines to perceive. This formalization has resulted in an ontology of perception, which is now being used in several distinct projects, including a weather alert service, fire detecting robots, and health-care monitoring (cardiology).

While completing a Ph.D. in Computer Science, I also act as project lead for the [http://wiki.knoesis.org/index.php/SSW Semantic Sensor Web] and editor for the [http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/XGR-ssn/ W3C Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group].

=== Semantic approach to Machine Perception ===
Currently, there are many sensors collecting information about our environment, leading to an overwhelming number of observations that must be analyzed and explained in order to achieve situation awareness. As perceptual beings, we are also constantly inundated with sensory data; yet we are able to make sense out of our environment with relative ease. This is due, in part, to the bi-directional information flow between our sensory organs and analytical brain. Drawing inspiration from cognitive models of perception, we can improve machine perception by allowing communication from processes that analyze observations to processes that generate observations. Such a perceptual system provides effective utilization of resources by decreasing the cost and number of observations needed for achieving situation awareness. Ideas such as this can be formally specified in an ontology of perception to better enable machines to perceive.

===Semantic Sensor Web===
Millions of sensors around the globe currently collect avalanches of data about our environment. The rapid development and deployment of sensor technology involves many different types of sensors, both remote and in situ, with such diverse capabilities as range, modality, and maneuverability. It is possible today to utilize networks with multiple sensors to detect and identify objects of interest up close or from a great distance. The lack of integration and communication between these networks, however, often leaves this avalanche of data stovepiped and intensifies the existing problem of too much data and not enough knowledge. With a view to alleviating this glut, we propose that sensor data be annotated with semantic metadata to provide contextual information essential for situational awareness. In particular, we present an approach to annotating sensor data with spatial, temporal, and thematic semantic metadata. This technique builds on current standardization efforts within the W3C and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and extends them with semantic Web technologies to provide enhanced descriptions and access to sensor data.

Look at the image to the right. How quickly were you able to realize the identity of the depicted object? The activity you just engaged in is called perception; and while people are able to perceive their environment almost instantaneously, and seemingly without effort, machines continue to struggle with the task. Currently, I am investigating how people are able to perceive the world so effectively; and developing an approximation of this process that can be formalized to better enable machines to perceive. This formalization has resulted in an ontology of perception, which is now being used in several distinct projects, including a weather alert service, fire detecting robots, and health-care monitoring (cardiology).

While completing a Ph.D. in Computer Science, I also act as project lead for the [http://wiki.knoesis.org/index.php/SSW Semantic Sensor Web] and editor for the [http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/XGR-ssn/ W3C Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group].

==Research Projects==
=== Semantic approach to Machine Perception ===
Currently, there are many sensors collecting information about our environment, leading to an overwhelming number of observations that must be analyzed and explained in order to achieve situation awareness. As perceptual beings, we are also constantly inundated with sensory data; yet we are able to make sense out of our environment with relative ease. This is due, in part, to the bi-directional information flow between our sensory organs and analytical brain. Drawing inspiration from cognitive models of perception, we can improve machine perception by allowing communication from processes that analyze observations to processes that generate observations. Such a perceptual system provides effective utilization of resources by decreasing the cost and number of observations needed for achieving situation awareness. Ideas such as this can be formally specified in an ontology of perception to better enable machines to perceive.

===Semantic Sensor Web===
Millions of sensors around the globe currently collect avalanches of data about our environment. The rapid development and deployment of sensor technology involves many different types of sensors, both remote and in situ, with such diverse capabilities as range, modality, and maneuverability. It is possible today to utilize networks with multiple sensors to detect and identify objects of interest up close or from a great distance. The lack of integration and communication between these networks, however, often leaves this avalanche of data stovepiped and intensifies the existing problem of too much data and not enough knowledge. With a view to alleviating this glut, we propose that sensor data be annotated with semantic metadata to provide contextual information essential for situational awareness. In particular, we present an approach to annotating sensor data with spatial, temporal, and thematic semantic metadata. This technique builds on current standardization efforts within the W3C and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and extends them with semantic Web technologies to provide enhanced descriptions and access to sensor data.

Look at the image to the right. How quickly were you able to realize the identity of the depicted object? The activity you just engaged in is called perception; and while people are able to perceive their environment almost instantaneously, and seemingly without effort, machines continue to struggle with the task. Currently, I am investigating how people are able to perceive the world so effectively; and developing an approximation of this process that can be formalized to better enable machines to perceive. This formalization has resulted in an ontology of perception, which is now being used in several distinct projects, including a weather alert service, fire detecting robots, and health-care monitoring (cardiology).

While completing a Ph.D. in Computer Science, I also act as project lead for the [http://wiki.knoesis.org/index.php/SSW Semantic Sensor Web] and editor for the [http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/XGR-ssn/ W3C Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group].

=== Semantic approach to Machine Perception ===
Currently, there are many sensors collecting information about our environment, leading to an overwhelming number of observations that must be analyzed and explained in order to achieve situation awareness. As perceptual beings, we are also constantly inundated with sensory data; yet we are able to make sense out of our environment with relative ease. This is due, in part, to the bi-directional information flow between our sensory organs and analytical brain. Drawing inspiration from cognitive models of perception, we can improve machine perception by allowing communication from processes that analyze observations to processes that generate observations. Such a perceptual system provides effective utilization of resources by decreasing the cost and number of observations needed for achieving situation awareness. Ideas such as this can be formally specified in an ontology of perception to better enable machines to perceive.

===Semantic Sensor Web===
Millions of sensors around the globe currently collect avalanches of data about our environment. The rapid development and deployment of sensor technology involves many different types of sensors, both remote and in situ, with such diverse capabilities as range, modality, and maneuverability. It is possible today to utilize networks with multiple sensors to detect and identify objects of interest up close or from a great distance. The lack of integration and communication between these networks, however, often leaves this avalanche of data stovepiped and intensifies the existing problem of too much data and not enough knowledge. With a view to alleviating this glut, we propose that sensor data be annotated with semantic metadata to provide contextual information essential for situational awareness. In particular, we present an approach to annotating sensor data with spatial, temporal, and thematic semantic metadata. This technique builds on current standardization efforts within the W3C and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and extends them with semantic Web technologies to provide enhanced descriptions and access to sensor data.
