Acquisition

Acquisition is one of the most important steps as it impacts all the other steps of the A⁴ pipeline regardless of the application.For example, in the area of Smart Cities as much of the nation’s Acquisition infrastructure is underdeveloped, any bias or inconsistency in a dataset can have severe repercussions throughout the analysis phase, leading to significant challenges. In this context, to engineer solutions, we look to advanced sensing techniques involving the Internet of Things (IoT), where data collection can be integrated with consumers’ daily lives. Then, by developing sophisticated control techniques, we can eliminate inconsistency before it begins, and ensure the most thorough Acquisition possible.
