This site is used for organizing and publicizing the 2nd National CPS PI Meeting

The CPS Principal Investigator Meeting provides a forum for a wide range of stakeholders in academia, industry and federal agencies to review new developments in CPS foundations, to identify new, emerging applications, and to discuss technology gaps and barriers. The program of the meeting includes presentations about projects funded by NSF and other agencies, panels and discussion groups.

Visible to the public Agenda: Cyber Physical Systems, Germany

The document defines the CPS research agenda in Germany. First it describes the rapidly growing research field of CPS. It provides a brief introduction to CPS, describing the capabilities and the many opportunities for application and new business models. The opportunities and challenges for technology, society and the economy associated with the profound change are analysed on the basis of an investigation into the characteristic features and capabilities of CPS. Overcoming these challenges is the aim of the as yet undefined CPS research agenda.

Visible to the public Embedded Fault Detection for Low-Cost, Safety-Critical Systems

This research addresses the basic challenge of bringing high levels of reliability and integrity to other domains-domains that can afford neither the cost nor the extra power, weight, and size associated with physical redundancy. The main research focus is on the development of algorithms and computing architectures which enable the detection of fauls without relying on physical redundancy.

Visible to the public CPS: Small: A Unified Distributed Spatiotemporal Signal Processing Framework for Structural Health Monitoring

There is an urgent need to build structural health monitoring (SHM) systems that can automatically detect, identify, localize, prognose and mitigate anomalies and damages in a structure at an early stage such that catastrophic failures can be avoided.

Visible to the public Learning for Control of Synthetic and Cyborg Insects in Uncertain Dynamic Environments

The objective of this research is to enable operation of synthetic and cyborg insects in complicated environments, such as outdoors or in a collapsed building. As the mobile platforms and environment have significant uncertainty, learning and adaptation capabilities are critical. Success in this research project will bring society closer to solving the grand challenge of teams of mobile, disposable, search and rescue robots which can robustly locomote through uncertain and novel environments, finding survivors in disaster situations, while removing r
