Abstract: Modern cyber-physical systems are monitored and controlled by multi-core platforms, and thermal management of multi-core chips is critical as overheated cores thereon will suffer from exponentially decaying lifetime and unacceptable performance degradation. To meet the timing and system lifetime reliability requirements under dynamic workloads and operating environment, we need a real-time thermal management (RTM) scheme that predicts run-time temperature and actuates effective thermal control without compromising task deadlines.

Abstract: The goal of this research project is to create a scalable and robust cyber-physical system (CPS) framework for the observation and control of the functional interdependencies between bridge structures (stationary physical systems) and trucks (mobile physical agents).  Figure 1 shows the architecture of the proposed CPS framework for the observation and control of truck loads imposed on highway bridges.  While many accomplishments have been achieved during the first year of the project, this poster pres

Abstract: This project addresses highly dynamic Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) understood as systems where a computing delay of a few milliseconds or an incorrectly computed response to a disturbance can lead to catastrophic consequences. Such is the case of advanced safety systems on passenger cars, unmanned air vehicles performing critical maneuvers such as landing, or disaster and rescue response bipedal robots rushing through the rubble to collect information or save human lives.

Abstract: Security and privacy concerns in the increasingly interconnected world are receiving much attention from the research community, policymakers, and general public. However, much of the recent and on-going efforts concentrate on privacy in communication and social interactions. The advent of cyber-physical systems, which aim at tight integration between distributed computational intelligence, communication networks, physical world, and human actors, opens new possibilities for developing intelligent systems with new capabilities.

Abstract:  This project addresses urgent challenges in high confidence validation and verification of automotive vehicles due to on-going and anticipated introduction of advanced, connected and autonomous vehicles into mass production. Since such vehicles operate across both physical and cyber domains, faults can occur in traditional physical components, in cyber components (i.e., algorithms, processors, networks, etc.), or in both.

Abstract: At a high level, the goal of this project is to collect data on how drivers approach and drive through intersections.  Research at the University of Michigan concerns the development of the driving simulator scenarios and testing human subjects.  In addition, considerable related research is being conducted on research methods.  At MIT, models based on the research at Michigan are being developed.  This abstract concerns those part of the project conducted at the University of Michigan.
