The objective of this research is to develop a theory of ?ActionWebs?, that is, networked embedded sensor-rich systems, which are taskable for coordination of multiple decision-makers. The approach is to first identify models of ActionWebs using stochastic hybrid systems, an interlinking of continuous dynamical physical models with discrete state representations of interconnection and computation. Second, algorithms will be designed for tasking individual sensors, based on information objectives for the entire system.

This project focuses on modern buildings as a natural expression of a cyber-physical system, with many features that are typical to such systems. This project focuses on modern buildings as a natural expression of a cyber-physical system, with many features that are typical to such systems. Modern buildings exhibit a tight integration of sensing, computation, and actuation within multiple physical domains.

The goal of this research is to identify ways to inexpensively provide detailed information about energy consumption in buildings and facilitate conservation. By relying on aggregate data, homeowners and facility managers are blind to the contribution of individual appliances and activities to the overall numbers. And while there is adequate evidence that providing real-time, appliance-specific data allows users to achieve significant energy savings, the available solutions in the market are either inadequately granular or prohibitively expensive.
