Seeking Applicants for the Smart Communities, Smart Responders Artificial Intelligence for IoT Prize Competition

Calling all data scientists, software engineers, wireless network administrators, innovators, and public safety experts! Texas A&M University, Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), Texas A&M Institute for Data Science (TAMIDS), and US Ignite are seeking applications for the NIST PSCR-funded Smart Communities, Smart Responders (SCSR) Artificial Intelligence (AI) for IoT Prize Competition. The challenge opens on November 20, 2022. Interested applicants must submit a concept paper to the US Ignite website by 11:59 PM (ET) on January 10, 2023 to qualify.


This prize challenge aims to develop AI systems that seamlessly aggregate and present environmental data in real-time so that information is more useful and actionable for first responders.



Imagine you are a first responder answering an emergency situation like a building explosion. You have arrived at the scene and are directing citizens to safety and treating the injured. As the disaster unfolds, the incident command calls in additional resources from neighboring cities. When these additional units arrive at the scene, you learn they have different proprietary communication systems with them that don’t automatically connect with your own.



Getting these devices to share information between one another is a time-intensive and costly process. The output of the Smart Communities, Smart Responder AI for IoT Prize Challenge aims to ..
