Visible to the public MIDAS: A Cyber Physical System for Proactive Traffic Management to Enhance Mobility and Sustainability

Submitted by Mirchandani on Fri, 01/29/2016 - 3:46pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

While driving on your favorite route to your destination, have you ever wondered why the technology you are seeing as far as traffic management is concerned is so antiquated? My answer to that is the people and organization that manage the traffic are not "cyber-physicists" and Google does not run our traffic lights.

Visible to the public A Novel Biomechatronic Interface Based on Wearable Dynamic Imaging Sensors

Submitted by ssikdar on Fri, 01/29/2016 - 3:38pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

The problem of controlling biomechatronic systems, such as multiarticulating prosthetic hands, involves unique challenges in the science and engineering of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), requiring integration between computational systems for recognizing human functional activity and intent and controlling prosthetic devices to interact with the physical world.

Submitted by mazumder on Thu, 01/28/2016 - 2:20pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

Advances in power semiconductor devices have rapidly paved the way for high-frequency power electronics to the point that high-frequency distributed power systems (HFDPSs) - such as Boolean Microgrid - are increasingly becoming a practical reality, provided the effects of transmission-line length can be mitigated. However, the usage of HFDPSs has been primarily limited to the printed-circuit-board (PCB) level applications because of the transmission-line effect that a power signal encounters as it propagates through the transmission line .

Submitted by Kishore.Ramachandran on Thu, 01/28/2016 - 2:07pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

The ubiquitous deployment of mobile and sensor devices is creating a new environment, namely, the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling a wide range of future Situation Awareness applications. Situation awareness is both a property and an application class of cyber-physical systems, which deals with recognizing when sensed data could lead to actionable knowledge. There are still many missing components that are required to have a rich and fully functional deployment of sensors with a continuous stream of actionable data.

Visible to the public Smart Power Systems of the Future: Foundations for Understanding Volatility and Improving Operational Reliability

Submitted by Sean Meyn on Thu, 01/28/2016 - 12:03pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

GRID 2020: The power grid in the U.S. and many regions of the world is undergoing changes because of new technologies and government mandates. It is believed that smart meters and a smarter grid will lead to more efficient use of our infrastructure. In addition, increased renewable energy integration will provide power at low cost.

Visible to the public The Healthtech Declaration

Submitted by awhitesell on Wed, 01/13/2016 - 4:50pm. Contributors:

Healthcare technology--sometimes called "healthtech" or "healthsec"--is enmeshed with security and privacy via usability, performance, and cost-effectiveness issues. It is multidisciplinary, distributed, and complex--nd it also involves many competing stakeholders and interests.
