Visible to the public Efficient Traffic Management - A Formal Methods Approach

Abstract:

This project is developing a formal methods approach to meet temporal logic specifications in traffic control. Formal methods is an area of computer science that develops efficient techniques for proving the correct operation of systems, such as computer programs and digital circuits, and for designing systems that are correct by construction. We have uncovered two key structural properties of traffic networks that make them amenable to this approach.

Visible to the public SMARTER -Smart Manager for Adaptive and Real-Time decisions in building clustERs

Abstract:

Despite the current emphasis on developing green buildings, the global energy consumption issue is not being adequately addressed. In this project, we propose a new perspective on this ever-threatening issue: NetZero energy building clusters.

Visible to the public CPS: Synergy: Collaborative Research: Threat-Assessment Tools for Management-Coupled Cyber and Physical Infrastructures

Abstract:

This new CPS Synergy project is concerned with Management-Coupled Cyber and Physical Infrastructures (MCCPIs), which are infrastructures whose cyber- and physical- components are coupled by their wide-area management functions. The main objective of the project is to develop a framework and tool set for threat assessment for MCCPIs which acknowledges their cyber, physical, and human elements, and to apply these tools and methods in a case study of the air traffic management system. Three broad types of threats are considered: en
