Session Abstract:
This session highlights the need of data accuracy and security in smart city applications. There are different levels of security, at different levels of smart city infrastructure applications.
Such as, at the inception (sensor level, where data is generated), the data need to be accurate, properly calibrated sensors should be used, complying with the environmental specifications.
At the aggregation, control and SCADA level, the needs are different. And at servers or cloud level, the security needs are different. These layers also create a distinction between what we generally define as IT and OT layers.
With data now being transferred from Edge directly to the cloud, many of these layers are now eliminated. During this session, the presenters will talk about the standards and approvals at sensor level, information security and anomaly detection when logging data into cloud and using AI to boost data integrity in smart cities.
Speakers:

Key Takeaways
A hybrid model is most appropriate because you need human intervention but our reflexes are not fast enough to identify and analyze the data. So we need AI but it is only as intelligent as the formulas you feed in and the relationships you include. @PhoenixContact Haroon Rashid
When we talk about the architecture the network is a Fiberoptic Ring-topology, but why would we use this? It’s because you need a fail safe system. In tunnels whenever human lives are at risk you need a fail safe system. Stefan Haydn Inframatic.ch
What is the role of AI in data flow to maintain integrity?
We have the input- we need complete data with guaranteed accuracy.
AI models and engines which continuously learn and improve.
Output- which has data integrity- no misdetection caused by fatigue. Dr. Mai Truong @IronYunInc
