Liuyang Lily Yang (aka Lily Yang) is a Principal Engineer in Security and Privacy Research at Intel Labs, Hillsboro, Oregon, USA. Lily joined Intel in 1995 and over the last 21 years has held a number of positions at Intel in research, standard development, R&D management, product planning, product management and now academic partnership management.

Abstract: Success of numerous autonomous and unmanned missions in space, air, ground, and water is measured by the ability of the robots to usefully operate for extended time in highly dynamic and potentially hazardous environments. Persistent operation in unstructured environments hinges on active resource utilization, an example of which is collective power management.

Abstract: We will introduce SOlSTICe, a software synthesis framework that addresses the timing challenges in CPS by quantitatively exploring timing constraints for multiple conflicting design metrics and across multiple abstraction layers, and using these timing constraints to drive the design space exploration.

Saurabh Amin is the Robert N. Noyce Career Development Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His research focuses on the design and implementation of high confidence network control algorithms for infrastructure systems. He works on robust diagnostics and control problems that involve using networked systems to facilitate the monitoring and control of large-scale critical infrastructures, including transportation, water, and energy distribution systems.

Abstract: Wide-area management of terrestrial scale infrastructures often involves human operators, who are sandwiched between physical-world systems and cyber- assets. These Management Coupled Cyber- Physical Infrastructures (MCCPIs) are subject to diverse threats that can propagate across network elements. In this research effort, a layered network modeling paradigm for MCCPIs is developed, and threats to cyber, physical, and human assets are modeled at several resolutions.

Abstract: The project is to develop an Executable Medical Best Practice Guidance (EMBG) system for acute medical care such as sepsis and strokes. EMBG assists the adherence to medical best practice across a hospital network, consists of rural hospitals, regional center hospital and ambulance service to transfer serious ill patients from rural to central hospital. The hospital partners now include Carle Foundation Hospital and Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) School of Medicine.
