The formalization of system engineering models and approaches.

Fog computing refers to distributing cloud services and extending them up to the edge of the network, allowing processing close to the source of data n that guarantees a timely response, network traffic reduction, and scalability. In contrast to cloud computing, fog computing utilizes resources from various levels in the network hierarchy n thereby posing the need for seamless resource management.

Georgia Tech police department is using a proprietary system to manage over 700 cameras on campus. The current approach requires administrators to click on each camera pin on the map and watch the stream to find out useful information, or wade through backup camera videos to track incidents. This process requires a lot of human labor and is not scalable. We use fog computing infrastructure to provide real-time object tracking, with car tracking across space and time as a concrete use-case.

The project is developing novel architectures for control and diagnosis of complex cyber--physical systems subject to stringent performance requirements in terms of safety, resilience, and adaptivity. These ever--increasing demands necessitate the use of formal model--based approaches to synthesize provably--correct feedback controllers.

Assistive machines, like robot arms mounted on powered wheelchairs, promote independence and
ability in those with severe motor impairments. Users of these assistive robots can teleoperate their
devices to perform activities of daily living like eating and self care. However, as these machines
become more capable, they often also become more complex. Traditional teleoperation interfaces
cover only a portion of the control space, and it is necessary to switch between di erent control
modes to access the full control space.

Performance monitoring data (e.g., measurements, logs, events) are becoming increasingly accessible and abundant (in terms of cost and availability) in modern distributed complex systems such as computer systems and networks, integrated buildings, industrial systems, transportation networks and power-grids. With efficient exploration of such data, health monitoring, diagnosis and prognosis can be greatly improved from the current state-of-the-art.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are being increasingly deployed in critical infrastructures such as electric-power, water, transportation, and other networks. These deployments are facilitating real-time monitoring and closed-loop control by exploiting the advances in wireless sensor-actuator networks, the internet of "everything," data-driven analytics, and machine-to-machine interfaces. CPS operations depend on the synergy of computational and physical components.

The project is to develop an Executable Medical Best Practice Guidance (EMBG) system to assist the adherence of acute patient care at a rural hospital to the best medical practice as if the patient care is at a regional hospital. The EMBG system is adaptive to the changing needs of a patient and physical resource availability, just as a GPS-enabled navigation system can driver's preference and accommodate road condition changes.

The cities in the U.S. and elsewhere in the developed world are experiencing a transformation: Many people demand denser neighborhood with mixed use, while they choose to utilize public transportation, rather than private cars, for their commute and other daily transportation needs. To support this trend, cities are in need of novel transportation and logistics services that can help address the needs of their citizens, boost their productivity, and increase the wellness of their lives. There are a number of emerging technologies that can address this challenge.

Parking can take up a significant amount of the trip costs (time and money) in urban travel. As such, it can considerably influence travelers' choices of modes, locations, and time of travel. The advent of smart sensors, wireless communications, social media and big data analytics offers a unique opportunity to tap parking's influence on travel to make the transportation system more efficient, cleaner, and more resilient. A cyber-physical social system for parking is proposed to realize parking's potential in achieving the above goals.
