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:
Electrification of the transportation market offers revenue growth for utility companies and automobile manufacturers, lower operational costs for consumers, and benefits to the environment. However, even moderate penetration of PEVs will stress the power grid. This project formulates and solves optimization problems critical to various entities in the PEV ecosystem -- PEV owners, commercial charging station owners, aggregators, and distribution companies -- at the distribution / retail level.

Abstract:
Cyber Physical Systems have revolutionized manufacturing to the point that next generation component manufacturing is now referred to as "digital manufacturing." Parts are made based on digital models that are represented by discrete points or meshes in standard file formats such as STL. The difficulty with these representations is that they can become extremely large when high resolution is desired.

Abstract:
Critical physical infrastructures, such as electrical grids and water networks etc., are increasingly controlled through a distributed cyber-systems which make it vulnerable to attacks. This project is devoted to developing the foundations of security of such cyber-physical systems.

Abstract:
The principal objective of this project is the development of novel control architectures and computationally efficient controller design algorithms for distributed cyber--physical systems with decentralized information infrastructures and limited communication capabilities. We are interested in distributed cyber-- physical systems where the system components are able to communicate with one another. Cooperative active safety in Intelligent Transportation Systems is our focus cyber--physical application.

Abstract:
The objective of this research is to investigate and implement a software architecture to improve productivity in the development of rapidly deployable, robust, real-time situational awareness and response (R3SAR) applications. The approach is to allow a commodity to device to dynamically configure itself for a pre-instrumented sensor environment, such as a truck with attached road temperature, humidity, and moisture sensors.

Abstract:
Advanced autonomous transportation technologies must become robust, affordable and maintainable before safe and wide public adoption. The following research challenges of cyber-physical systems must be overcome before autonomous vehicles become practical:

Abstract:
The objective of this research is to develop methods for the operation and design of cyber physical systems in general, and energy efficient buildings in particular. The approach is to use an integrated framework: create models of complex systems from data; then design the associated sensing-communication-computation-control system; and finally create distributed estimation and control algorithms, along with execution platforms to implement these algorithms.

Abstract:
In the coming decade, microfluidic biochips, or labs--on--a--chip (LoCs), will automate and miniaturize repetitive laboratory experiments that are today performed by humans in domains such as enzymatic, proteomic, and DNA analysis, drug discovery, biomolecular recognition, molecular imaging, toxicity monitoring, and clinical diagnostics.
