A general model is developed to study how network routing can be reconfigured quickly without incurring transient congestion. Assuming both initial and target configurations are congestion-free, it is known that transient congestion may still occur during the reconfiguration process if links contain a mix of traffic flows following old and new routing rules, resulting from variation of switch reaction time and propagation delay differences among paths. We consider these factors by explicitly incorporating timing uncertainty intervals into the model.

This project concerns real-time implementations of networked control strategies on distributed embedded systems.  Co-design of the implementation platform and control strategies for multiple control applications is addressed. Limited and shared resources among control and non-control applications introduce delays in transmitted messages. Various aspects of these delays are efficiently addressed in this research. Overrun strategies that accommodate variations in the delays have been developed.

This poster presents the Pulsar platform, which can achieve better than 5 nanosecond clock synchronization in an indoor environment combining wireless ultra-wideband communication with a chip-scale atomic clock. We discuss the various challenges in synchronization at nanosecond scales then propose and evaluate a proof-of-concept protocol for the same.

INTRODUCTION

This project aims to create a Holonic Multiagent System (HMAS) architecture to support transactive energy market of “active consumers” engaged in buying and selling electricity (locally generated from resources such as rooftop solar photovoltaic) in response to real time electricity pricing.  The architecture should require little change to the existing investment in power distribution systems while allowing for the dynamic, adaptive control required to integrate active consumers with current and future combinations of high-variability distributed power sources, such as PV generators a

This poster showcases progress on the NSF Knowledge-Aware Cyber-Physical Systems project. We have identified a case study to be used as a stepping stone in the study of Air France Flight 447, and have started using it to understand and show-case the features of the logic under development. It highlights the important distinction between observable and unobservable events, and has led to a better representation of pilot intuition while flying.

Over  the  last  decade,  researchers  have  started  exploring  the  design  space  of  Medical  Capsule  Robots  (MCRs):devices   that   operate   autonomously   within   the   human   body and  can  monitor,  diagnose,  prevent,  and  cure  diseases.  MCRs are  severely  resource  constrained  devices  in  size,  power  and computational  capacity.  As&nbsp
