UTA researcher would transform sensor network into device with supercomputer power

Computing powerA researcher at The University of Texas at Arlington is working to develop a framework for a network of simple sensors that could be as powerful as a supercomputer, but smaller and less costly. Ioannis Schizas, an assistant professor in the Electrical Engineering Department , will create a sensing environment that will use many simple devices to process data that currently requires the use of a supercomputer as part of a three-year, $150,000 National Science Foundation grant. This network of sensors could be applied to surveillance and defense,
