The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices and other objects embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. It is expected that 25 billion objects will be connected to the Internet by 2025 through IoT-based solutions, which will generate a huge amount of data, around 4.4 trillion gigabytes, by 2025. The IoT-connected objects will interact with their delayed environments to sense, collect, and forward the measured data. It is very important to ensure IoT solutions are deployed in trusted distributed environments to provide features such as seamless authentication, data privacy, security, robustness against attacks, easy deployment, and self-maintenance. Blockchain is an emerging technology that will help to provide confidence in implementing the aforementioned characteristics for any IoT-based solution. In this talk, I will address the evolution of IoT in different fields, followed by real examples that present data growth. Then, I will present the connection between IoT & Blockchain and the necessary components to develop an efficient framework. Challenges and future directions will be presented and discussed.

We are pleased to announce MISC'24, the Spanish Workshop on Machine Learning, Information Theory, Signal Processing, and Communications. In Madrid on July 2, 2024, MISC'24 expands upon the Signal Processing, Information Theory, and Communications (SIC) Workshop to include the Machine learning field. The technical program features speakers of renowned international prestige in these fields. Remarkably, the event will host a distinguished lecturer from the Information Theory Society. In the afternoon, we will have a poster session for Ph.D. students, postdocs, and researchers in the fields above to foster interaction and potential new collaborations. We encourage all participants to contribute. Registration will be open until June 21, 2024. Please fill out the form: https://forms.office.com/e/4YpXNajrQy Moreover, we will hold a welcome and networking dinner on July 1st to promote social interaction among participants. Each participant would cover the costs, with an estimated cost between 40 and 50 EUR. Please, let us know your interest in attending the dinner by answering the corresponding question within the registration form.

On Tuesday, July 2nd, Prof. Anand Sarwate from Rutgers University give his Distinguished Lecture: Title: "Learning with Structured Tensor Decompositions” Abstract: Many measurements or signals are multidimensional, or tensor-valued. Vectorizing tensor data for statistical and machine learning tasks often results in having to fit a very large number of parameters. Using tensor decompositions to model such data can give a flexible and useful modeling framework whose complexity can adapt to the amount of data available. This talk will introduce classical decompositions (CP, Tucker) as well as more recent ones (tensor train, block tensor decomposition, and low separation rank) and show how they can be used to learn scalable representations for tensor-valued data and make predictions from tensor-valued data. Time permitting, we will describe applications in federated learning as well as open problems for future research. The event will be transmitted via Teams: (https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MTgzMjdkYjUtZDYxNi00NmUxLTk0YjAtNDQwZTIxYWQzMDdh%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%225f84c4ea-370d-4b9e-830c-756f8bf1b51f%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22b4bdccba-f532-48cd-8208-457d6bc3086c%22%7d) Co-sponsored by: Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Speaker(s): Dr. Anand Sarwate, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/425691
