Optimizations are crucial to meet the performance, power and cost requirements that DSP and embedded systems have. The aim of the ODES workshop is to give the opportunity to researchers and practitioners working on this, to share their findings and get feedback.

Abstract:

The objective of this research is to develop tools for comprehensive design and optimization of air traffic flow management capabilities at multiple spatial and temporal resolutions: at a national airspace-wide scale and one-day time horizon (strategic time-frame); and at a regional scale (of one or a few Centers) and a two-hour time horizon (tactical time-frame).Year 3 results are summarized in the following.

Abstract:

Atomic force microscopes (AFM) can be used to both image and modify samples at molecular or even atomic resolution, in an ambient environment with little to no sample preparation. AFM based nanomanipulation and nanoassembly compares favorably with other techniques such as electron- beam lithography in cost, repeatability, accuracy, and resolution.

Abstract:

The tight integration of physical and information processes in CPS necessitates the development of a new systems science, which is simultaneously computational and physical. Dynamics, modeling, feedback, and control are central issues in CPS research. The unique challenges in CPS integration emerge from the heterogeneity of components and interactions.

Visible to the public Sequential Supervised Learning

Abstract:

We propose concepts for intelligent, adaptive cyber-physical systems that adaptively control information acquisition through the choice of sensor configurations to interact with the physical environment. Our focus is on a novel aspect of cyber-physical systems, intelligent sensing, to control information acquisition under sensing budget constraints in support of critical decision tasks.

Visible to the public A Ball Goes to School - Our Experiences from a Cyber Physical Systems Design Experiment

Abstract:

Teaching the methodologies of Cyber Physical System (CPS) design requires good examples that are easy to understand and tools that are commonly used in practice. This paper presents our experiences during the practical execution of model-driven design processes applying a range of state-of-the-art design tools for a novel and simple example from the CPS domain. The Falling Ball example has several properties that support teaching basic design principles of CPSs.
