Autonomous mobility systems increasingly operate in dense and dynamic environments where perception occlusions, limited sensing coverage, and multi-agent interactions pose major challenges. While onboard sensors provide essential local…
Governments around the world are trying to build large data registries for effective delivery of a variety of public services. However, these efforts are often undermined due to serious concerns over privacy risks associated with collection…
With the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) and communication platform, large scale sensor deployment can be easily implemented in an urban city to collect various information. To date, there are only a handful of research studies…
Coordination of view coverage via privacy-aware smart cameras is key to a more socially responsible urban intelligence. Rather than maximizing view coverage at any cost or over relying on expensive cryptographic techniques, we address how…
Smart-city applications ranging from traffic management to public-safety alerts rely on live analytics of video from surveillance cameras in public spaces. However, a growing number of government regulations stipulate how data collected…
The growth of mobile sensor technologies have made it possible for city councils to understand peoples' behaviour in urban spaces which could help to reduce stress around the city. We present a quantitative approach to convey a collective…
Sensor-based interactive systems -- e.g., "smart" speakers, webcams, and RFID tags -- allow us to embed computational functionality into physical environments. They also expose users to real and perceived privacy risks: users know that…

Recent studies observe that app foreground is the most striking component that influences the access control decisions in mobile platform, as users tend to deny permission requests lacking visible evidence. However, none of the existing…
The Internet of Things (IoT) systems are designed and developed either as standalone applications from the ground-up or with the help of IoT middleware platforms. They are designed to support different kinds of scenarios, such as smart…
Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated devices that can be used to allow large-scale collection and analysis of data. However, as it grew, IoT networks were not capable of managing the data from these services. As a result,…
In this paper we present a sensor network based architecture for urban traffic management, hierarchically structured on three layers: sensing, processing& aggregation and control. On proposed architecture we define traffic decongestion…
Today's mobile devices sense, collect, and store huge amounts of personal information, which users share with family and friends through a wide range of applications. Once users give applications access to their data, they must implicitly…
This paper introduces UrbanScore - a real-time web platform that computes a personalised liveability score for any urban address. The system fuses five data streams: (i) address geocoding via Nominatim, (ii) facility extraction from…
The data generated by the devices and existing infrastructure in the Internet of Things (IoT) should be shared among applications. However, data sharing in the IoT can only reach its full potential when multiple participants contribute…
