Abstract: This grant provides funding for the formulation of a data model, and trajectory planning platform and methodology to execute a fully digital 3D, 5-axis machining capability. Research will be performed on methods for utilizing multiple Graphical Processor Units (GPUs), which are readily available, parallel digital processing hardware in these calculations.

Abstract: Cyber Physical Systems have revolutionized manufacturing to the point that next generation component manufacturing is now referred to as “digital manufacturing.” Parts are made based on digital models that are represented by discrete points or meshes in standard file formats such as STL. The difficulty with these representations is that they can become extremely large when high resolution is desired.

The 2nd Mediterranean Conference on Embedded Computing (MECO 2013) is a continuation of very successful MECO-2012 event. It is an International Scientific Forum aimed to present and discuss the leading achievements in the modeling, analysis, design, validation and application of embedded computing systems. MECO 2013 will provide an opportunity for scientists, engineers and researchers to discuss new applications, design problems, ideas, solutions, research and development results, experiences and work-in-progress in this important technological area.
