This talk was given at IBM Research, Yorktown, on Tuesday, December 1, 2009.

It introduces Sensor Andrew: a collection of hardware and software elements that together form a virtual instrument for large-scale sensing and actuation, intended to help deliver sensor-driven decision support for our built infrastructure.

The Sensor Andrew infrastructure enables researchers to easily tap into an Internet-scale resource of sensors and actuators in a manner that is extensible, easy-to-use, and secure while maintaining privacy.
