Tackling Age of Information in Access Policies for Sensing Ecosystems.

Recent technological advancements such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning (ML) can lead to a massive data generation in smart environments, where multiple sensors can be used to monitor a large number of processes through a wireless sensor network (WSN). This poses new challenges for the extraction and interpretation of meaningful data. In this spirit, age of information (AoI) represents an important metric to quantify the freshness of the data monitored to check for anomalies and operate adaptive control.
