Institute’s MOC Project Students Showcased Novel Open Source “Internet of Things” (IoT) Solutions at Cisco Live! San Diego

Boston University (BU) students displayed novel “Smart Cities” apps in the “DevNet Zone for IoT,” hosted by Cisco at its annual Cisco Live! event held in San Diego on June 10-11.  The BU apps provide visualizations of mobile device positions on interactive maps of both indoor facilities and aerial/satellite imagery by combining signals acquired from disparate “things” including Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons, Internet routers, and GPS.

Students who contributed to the apps include: Mark Barrasso, Jose Bautista, Justina Choi, Sean Liu, Nehal Odedra, Niklas Kunkel, Qingqing Li, and Yingchao Zhu.  The students were supervised by Professor Orran Krieger and Dr. Ata Turk of the BU Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering as part of a new Cloud Computing course using the Massachusetts Open Cloud (MOC) project platform. Industry mentors included Lionel Florit, Cisco and Jim Ballingall, the Industry-Academia Partnership (IAP).
