Visible to the public CRII: CPS: Design of Secure and Dependable Next Generation Automotive Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by arslanmn on Wed, 11/29/2017 - 4:21pm. Contributor:

Abstract: This project aims at simultaneous integration of security and dependability while minimizing energy consumption and ensuring that real-time constraints of the application are not violated. We have proposed novel electronic control unit (ECU) architectures for real-time automotive CPS that incorporate security and dependability primitives with low resources and energy overhead.

Visible to the public FDA SIR: Architecturally-Integrated Hazard Analyses for Medical Application Platforms

Submitted by John Hatcliff on Wed, 11/29/2017 - 4:21pm. Contributors:

The objective of this research is to develop new forms of tool-supported safety analyses for next-generation integrated medical systems that are based on the concept of medical application platforms (MAP). A MAP is a safety- and security- critical real-time computing platform for (a) integrating heterogeneous devices, medical IT systems, and information displays via a communication infrastructure and (b) hosting application programs ("apps") that provide medical utility via the ability to both acquire information from and update/control integrated devices, IT systems, and displays.

Visible to the public Trustworthy Composition of Dynamic App-Centric Architectures for Medical Application Platforms

Submitted by John Hatcliff on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 4:37am. Contributors:

Abstract:

Medical devices are typically developed as stand-alone units. Current industrial Verification and Validation (V&V) techniques primarily target stand-alone systems. Moreover, the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulatory clearance processes are designed to approve such devices that are integrated by a single manufacturer with complete control over all components.

Abstract:

The project will demonstrate a Holonic Multi-agent System Architecture capable of adaptively controlling future electrical power distribution systems (PDS), which are expected to include a large number of renewable power generators, energy storage devices, and advanced metering and control devices. The project will produce a general, extensible, and secure cyber architecture based on holonic multi-agent principles to support adaptive PDS.

Visible to the public Demonstration of the Medical Device Coordination Framework (MDCF) enabling safer PCA

Submitted by aking on Wed, 02/20/2013 - 12:27am

Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) is a prefered pain management therapy for patients who have undergone some form of physical trauma (e.g. surgery, vehicular accident, etc). PCA typically is delivered using a PCA pump; when the patient wants pain relief they press a trigger attached to the pump which causes the pump to release a bolus of pain medication. Unfortunately, PCA therapy is implicated in many serious medical accidents due to the potential for overdose.  This video shows how PCA could be safer if medical devices could truly interoperate with each other.
