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:
The Boolean Microgrid (BM) emulates the Internet by supplying discrete power and discrete data over a network link that follows Boolean logic and is not continuous as in a conventional 60-Hz-ac or dc microgrid. BM is thus a highly integrated cyber-physical system (CPS) that features the convergence of control, communication and the physical plant.

Recent years have seen medical devices go from being monolithic to a collection of integrated systems. Modern medical device systems have thus become a distinct class of cyber-physical systems called Medical Cyber Physical Systems (MCPS), featuring complex and close interaction of sophisticated treatment algorithms with the physical aspects of the system, and especially thepatient whose safety is of the utmost concern. The goal of this project is to develop a new paradigm for the design and implementation of safe, secure, and reliable MCPS, which includes:

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.

Abstract:
The current project, collaboration between the MIT and the University of Michigan, concerns the development of complex models to describe driver decision making at intersections. MIT is focused on modeling and Michigan on data collection and method development. Two experiments have been conducted so far (24 subjects/experiment) using a NADS MiniSim driving simulator for which extensive programming was required. Subjects drove through 2 sets of 70 intersections following a lead vehicle (and being followed).

Abstract:
Motivation: Energy infrastructure is a critical underpinning of modern society. To ensure its reliable operation, a nation--wide or continent--wide situational awareness system is essential to provide high--resolution understanding of the system dynamics such that proper actions can be taken in real--time in response to power system disturbances and to avoid cascading blackouts. The power grid represents a typical highly dynamic cyber--physical system (CPS).
