Abstract:
The objective of this project is to develop a science of integration for cyber physical systems (CPS). The proposed research program has three focus areas: (1) foundations, (2) tools and tool architectures, (3) systems/experimental research. The project has pushed along several frontiers towards these overall objectives. In the following, we describe selected accomplishments:

Abstract:
Our objective is to engineer vehicles that can collaborate on the use of a roadway. The protocols that define the collaboration must be provably safe, and the implementations of the protocols by different manufacturers must be guaranteed to inter-operate. As an example we are using a collaborative merge protocol, that assists a driver merging between two vehicles in an adjacent lane.

Abstract:
Central to the operation of cyber-physical systems (CPS) is accurate and reliable knowledge of time, both for meaningfully sensing and controlling the physical world state and for correct, high-performance and energy-efficient orchestration of computing and communication operations. Emerging applications that seek to control agile physical processes or depend on precise knowledge of time to infer location and coordinate communication, make use of time with diverse semantics and dynamic quality requirements.

Abstract:
The SDB project seeks to design, engineer, and evaluate the foundational information substrate for cyberphysical systems in a concrete, canonical form - creation of efficient, agile, model- driven, human-centered building systems. Modern commercial buildings provide increasingly integrated Building Management Systems, but are typically closed or based on proprietary interfaces, are difficult to extend, and it is expensive to add new capabilities.

Abstract:
Our proposed research is motivated by two fundamental challenges that are traditionally studied in separate disciplines. The first key challenge is that in existing digital cameras, the functionalities of a camera are constrained by its size due to the optics and quantum nature of light. It remains a challenge to design a camera architecture that has both - a small form factor and has versatile functionalities, e.g.

Abstract:
As devices in the world around us are increasingly connected, the possibilities about how to use these devices and the data have exploded. Many of these scenarios such as home automation and office productivity require software tools beyond data visualizations, to express user intents, check for bugs, and ensure interactions do not cause harm to the users and physical world.

Abstract:
A primary objective of this research is to establish a foundational framework for smart grids that enables significant penetration of renewable DERs and facilitates flexible deployments of plug-and-play applications. Under this common theme, the PIs have taken a data analytics perspective to explore rigorous approaches in modeling, optimization, and control of wind generation integration.
