Visible to the public CAREER: Hierarchical Control for Large-Scale Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by Wei Zhang on Wed, 11/29/2017 - 4:20pm. Contributor:

Many complex engineering systems involve interactions among a large number of agents with coupled dynamics and decisions due to their shared environment and resources. Such systems are often operated using a hierarchical architecture, where a coordinator determines some macroscopic control signal to steer the population to achieve a desired group objective while respecting local preferences and constraints for individual agents. Examples include electricity demand response programs, ground and air transportation systems, data center power management, robotic networks, among others.

Visible to the public CAREER: Resilient Design of Networked Infrastructure Systems: Models, Validation, and Synthesis

Submitted by saurabh on Wed, 11/29/2017 - 4:20pm. Contributor:

This project advances the scientific knowledge on design methods for improving the resilience of civil infrastructures to disruptions. To improve resilience, critical services in civil infrastructure sectors must utilize new diagnostic tools and control algorithms that ensure survivability in the presence of both security attacks and random faults, and also include the models of incentives of human decision makers in the design process.

Visible to the public CPS: Synergy: Collaborative Research: Extracting Time-Critical Situational Awareness from Resource Constrained Networks

Submitted by Amit K. Roy-Chowd... on Wed, 11/29/2017 - 4:20pm. Contributors:

Overall Objective. The goal of this project is to facilitate the timely retrieval of dynamic situational awareness information from field deployed nodes by an operational center in disaster recovery or search and rescue missions, which are typically characterized by resource-constrained uncertain environments. Efficient situational awareness information retrieval under severe resource limitations is critical in applications like disaster response.

Visible to the public CRII: CPS: A Knowledge Representation and Information Fusion Framework for Decision Making in Complex Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by Soumik Sarkar on Wed, 11/29/2017 - 4:20pm. Contributor:

Performance monitoring data (e.g., measurements, logs, events) are becoming increasingly accessible and abundant (in terms of cost and availability) in modern distributed complex systems such as computer systems and networks, integrated buildings, industrial systems, transportation networks and power-grids. With efficient exploration of such data, health monitoring, diagnosis and prognosis can be greatly improved beyond the current state-of-the-art.

Visible to the public CAREER: Data Representation and Modeling for Unleashing the Potential of Multi-Modal Wearable Sensing Systems

Submitted by Edgar Lobaton on Wed, 11/29/2017 - 4:20pm. Contributor:

The recent increase in the variety and usage of wearable sensing systems allows for the continuous monitoring of health and wellness of users. The output of these systems enable individuals to make changes to their personal routines in order to minimize exposures to pollutants and maintain healthy levels of exercise. Furthermore, medical practitioners are using these systems to monitor proper activity levels for rehabilitation purposes and to monitor threatening conditions such as heart arrhythmias.
