Visible to the public Efficient Mapping and Management of Applications onto Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract:

Cyber-Physical Systems comprise richly heterogeneous collections of devices (mobile devices, home electronics, taxis, robotic drones, etc.) that together gather sensor data, analyze it, and coordinate large--scale actions in response to it.

Visible to the public Foundations for Understanding Volatility and Improving Operational Reliability

Abstract:

This project addresses the impact of the integration of renewable intermittent generation and the integration of sophisticated sensing, communication, and actuation capabilities into the grid on the system's reliability, volatility, and economic efficiency, and seeks to develop system architectures, along with associated optimization and control algorithms to balance such trade--offs. The high level goals of this project can be stated as follows:

Visible to the public Formal Analysis of Human Machine Interactions for Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract:

Human users are integral to the operation of safety--critical CPS. The goal of this project is to model and analyze the actions of human users along with possible mistakes that may appear in these interactions. We seek to develop approaches that will help us understand the effect of human operator mistakes on the overall system correctness. Our focus is on medical infusion pumps used to deliver drugs to patients.

Visible to the public Event-Based Information Acquisition, Learning, and Control in High-Dimensional Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract:

The objective of this project is to develop a theoretical framework for stochastic learning, decision-making, and control in high-dimensional cyber-physical systems. In our general framework, decision makers dynamically refine their estimates of the time-varying physical system based on acquired information, which may be obtained by distributed sensors.

Visible to the public Exploration of the Cyber-Physical Design Space

Abstract:

The overall objective of this project is to create a general CPS design-science that makes design of every CPS simpler, faster and more dependable, while at the same time reducing the cost and the required expertise level. In order to master this challenge, we address four fundamental and closely related issues:

Visible to the public Energy-efficient Techniques to Allocate Power to Computer Resources On-demand

Abstract:

Managing and processing big amounts of data typically consumes large amounts of energy and computing time. These type of problems frequently occur in modern data centers. To solve this problem we can utilize parallel computing which is the most used way to carry out, manage and proces data faster. It is necessary to locate techiniques for energy efficient computation.
