Dr. Iyengar invented the Cognitive Information Management Shell a complex event processing architecture and engine
that innovatively combines automated agent synthesis with machine learning-based agile analytics and distributed databases.
This shell introduced a new paradigm for combining machine learning with expert knowledge and human input and is perhaps
the most important advance in complex event processing technology for many decades.
Dr. Iyengar led the engineering team at Nulogix
Labs, a start up company that he founded , since 2010 for productizing this technology and leading its
deployment in agricultural domain in India and US in collaboration with Morph2o and Indian Agricultural Research Institute.
The system developed by his team provides soil and water management for precision agriculture with the ability to deal with
unpredictable environmental conditions.
It receives data from ground sensors and as well as satellite imagery and both
proactively and reactively provide analytics and control for irrigation, fertilization, yield management, etc.
In 2010-11 the company has been collaborating with several nongovernmental organizations in developing countries for deploying this
technology and has received grants/contracts worth 0.5 million dollars. In the near future, this system will provide a
convergent platform for providing wide area analytics for several hundred governmental and nongovernmental organizations
in the developing world
