TSYS School Computer Scientists Awarded $350,000 Contract

A team of faculty from the TSYS School of Computer Science has recently been awarded a $350,000 contract by the Washington D.C.-based non-profit NGO U.S. Ignite Inc. to develop prototype solutions for two systems at Fort Benning as a part of the Smart Installations Community Dashboard (SICD) project. This is a pilot project under the Installations of the Future (IoTF) program being managed on behalf of the Assistant Secretary of the Army, Installations, Energy, and Environment. The TSYS School faculty team involved in this project includes Shamim Khan (project lead), Riduan Abid, Yesem Peker and Suk Jin Lee. In addition to these faculty researchers, the team will also include a group of undergraduate and graduate research assistants. The team will be responsible for developing a real-time remote surveillance system based on machine learning to monitor the movement of civilians, soldiers, animals, and vehicles in real time across remote locations at Fort Benning in order to raise alerts about any unauthorized access. Also being developed is a real-time energy incidence management system to continuously monitor energy consumption in the buildings at Fort Benning. This system will use data analytics and machine learning to improve efficiency leading to cost-savings, improved service and better security. This is a one-year project that began this fall and will continue until the end of summer 2023.
