Visible to the public ActionWebs

Submitted by Claire Tomlin on Mon, 11/10/2014 - 4:16pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

The objective of this research is to develop a theory of "ActionWebs", that is, networked embedded sensor-rich systems, which can be tasked to coordinate 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.

Visible to the public Cognitive Green Building: A Holistic Cyber-Physical Analytic Paradigm for Energy Sustainability

Submitted by nshroff on Mon, 11/10/2014 - 2:52pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

Buildings in the U.S. contribute to 39% of energy use, consume approximately 70% of the electricity, and account for 39% of CO2 emissions. Hence, developing green building architec- tures is an extremely critical component in energy sustainability. The investigators will develop a unified analytical approach for green building design that comprehensively manages energy sustainability by taking into account the complex interactions between these systems of systems, providing a high degree of security, agility and robust to extreme events.

Visible to the public CPS: Synergy: Plug-and-Play Cyber-Physical Systems to Enable Intelligent Buildings

Submitted by jianghai on Mon, 11/10/2014 - 2:49pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

Despite their importance within the energy sector, buildings have not kept pace with technological improvements and particularly the evolution of intelligent features. A primary obstacle in enabling intelligent buildings is their highly distributed and diverse nature.

Visible to the public Event-Based Information Acquisition, Learning, and Control in High-Dimensional Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by Andrea Goldsmith on Mon, 11/10/2014 - 1:44pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

The objective of this project is to develop a theoretical framework for stochastic learning, decision-making, and control in high-dimensional cyber-physical systems. In our general framework, decision makers dynamically refine their estimates of the time-varying physical system based on acquired information, which may be obtained by distributed sensors.
