Visible to the public Cybernizing Mechanical Structures Through Integrated Sensor-Structure Fabrication Poster.pdf

Submitted by Jiong Tang on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:26pm. Contributors:

The timely and accurate in-service identification of faults in mechanical structures, such as airplanes, can play a vitally important role in avoiding catastrophes. One major challenge, however, is that the sensing system relies on high frequency signals, the coordination of which is difficult to achieve throughout a large structure. To tackle this fundamental issue, the research team will take advantage of 3D printing technology to fabricate integrated sensor-structure components.

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

Submitted by jianghai on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:26pm. Contributors:

Despite their importance within the energy sector, buildings have not kept pace with technological improvements and particularly the introduction of intelligent features. A primary obstacle in enabling intelligent buildings is their highly distributed and diffuse nature. To address this challenge, a modular approach will be investigated for building design, construction, and operation that would completely transform the building industry.

Visible to the public Doing More with Less- Cost-Effective Infrastructure for Automotive Vision Capabilities

Submitted by Jim Anderson on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:26pm. Contributor:

Many safety-critical cyber-physical systems rely on advanced sensing capabilities to react to changing
environmental conditions. However, cost-effective deployments of such capabilities have remained
elusive. Such deployments will require software infrastructure that enables multiple sensor-processing
streams to be multiplexed onto a common hardware platform at reasonable cost, as well as tools and
methods for validating that required processing rates can be maintained.

Visible to the public Corridor-based Highway Bridge Monitoring and Control using Cyber Physical System Architectures Poster.pdf

Submitted by swjeong3 on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:26pm. Contributors:

The goal of this project is to create a scalable and robust cyber-physical system (CPS)
framework for the observation and control of the functional interdependencies between bridge
structures (stationary physical systems) and trucks (mobile physical agents). A CPS framework
(Figure 1) is being developed to monitor and control trucks within a single highway corridor to
manage the imposed loads and the consumption of structural life by trucks on highway
infrastructure including bridges. The framework begins with the installation of wireless sensing

Visible to the public Bringing the Multicore Revolution to Safety-Critical Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by Jim Anderson on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:26pm. Contributors:

Shared hardware resources like caches and memory introduce timing unpredictability for real-time
systems. Worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis with shared hardware resources is often so pessimistic
that the extra processing capacity of multicore systems is negated. We propose techniques to
improve performance and schedulability for multicore systems.

Visible to the public Synergy- Collaborative Research- Security and Privacy-Aware Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by Insup Lee on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:26pm. Contributors:

Security and privacy concerns in the increasingly interconnected world are receiving much attention from the research community, policymakers, and general public. However, much of the recent and on-going efforts concentrate on privacy in communication and social interactions. The advent of cyber-physical systems, which aim at tight integration between distributed computational intelligence, communication networks, physical world, and human actors, opens new possibilities for developing intelligent systems with new capabilities.

Visible to the public Maneuver and Data Optimization for High Confidence Testing of Future Automotive Cyberphysical Systems

Submitted by Ilya V. Kolmanovsky on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:22pm. Contributors:

The current lack of toolchain for high confidence testing, validation and verification of advanced, connected and automated/autonomous vehicles can impede and even entirely prevent the introduction of such vehicles into mass production. To address this challenge, this projects develops theory, methods, and tools for generating and optimizing test trajectories and data inputs that can maximize opportunities to uncover faults in both physical and cyber domain in future automotive vehicles.

Visible to the public Fault-Tolerant Brain Implantable Cyber-Physical System

Submitted by HittenZaveri on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:22pm. Contributors:

Episodic brain disorders such as epilepsy have a considerable impact on a patient's productivity and quality of life and may be life-threatening when seizures cannot be controlled with medications. We will create a second generation brain-implantable sensing and stimulating device (BISSD) based on CPS principles and practice. The BISSD will be composed of modules placed intracranially to continuously monitor brain state and vulnerability to seizure and intervene with electrical stimulation to block the development of seizure.

Visible to the public Cyber-Enabled Exercise Machines

Submitted by hanzcps on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:22pm. Contributor:

The broad goal of this project is to advance both the foundations and the enabling technologies in the field of human-machine systems, with a focus on exercise and rehabilitation machines.

One of the motivations of our project is the observation that advances in exercise devices are mostly seen in their haptic interfaces rather than their intrinsic capabalities. Also, our collaboration with NASA on exercise machines for astronauts has motivaed us to investigate this aspect of human-machine interaction.
