Abstract: Until now, the "cyber" component of automobiles has consisted of control algorithms and associated software for vehicular subsystems designed to achieve one or more performance, efficiency, reliability, comfort, or safety (PERCS) goals, primarily based on short-term intrinsic vehicle sensor data. However, there exist many extrinsic factors that can affect the degree to which these goals can be achieved.

Abstract

Dynamic networks allow cyber physical devices to connect opportunistically to share and process data gathered from the physical world. This project concerns dynamic networks of emerging cyber physical devices, such as smart phones and on-board embedded computing devices that combine sensors with general-purpose computing environments. These dynamic networks provide a powerful platform of networked devices with significant computation, communication and storage capabilities.
