Abstract: The objective of this project is to develop a science of integration for cyber physical systems (CPS). The proposed research program has three focus areas: (1) foundations,  (2) tools and tool architectures, (3) systems/experimental research. The project has pushed along several frontiers towards these overall objectives. In the following, we describe selected accomplishments:

This project has introduced a programming language, compiler, and runtime environment that enables software to control a “cyber-physical” microfluidic device in which integrated sensors and video monitoring equipment form a closed feedback loop (a). The technical contributions of the project include the design and implementation of the language, and a detailed description of the algorithms built into the compiler to enable fast decision-making in real-time in response to sensory feedback (b).

Abstract: Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) requires tight coordination between computational systems and the physical devices that deliver the prescribed treatment plan, making it a perfect example of cyber-physical system. The current approach to addressing tumor motion in radiation therapy is to treat it as a problem and not as a therapeutic opportunity. Existing treatment planning methods attempt to create dose distributions that are at best dosimetrically equivalent to the static case.

Abstract: Shared hardware resources like caches and translation look aside buffers (TLBs) introduce timing unpredictability for real-time systems. We propose techniques to mitigate unpredictabil- ity for multicore systems. The TLB improves the performance of the system by caching the virtual page to physical frame mapping. But TLBs present a source of unpredictability for real-rime systems. Standard heap allocated regions do not provide guarantees on the TLB set that will hold a particular page translation.

Recent years have seen medical devices go from being monolithic to a collection of integrated systems. Modern medical device systems have thus become a distinct class of cyber-physical systems called Medical Cyber Physical Systems (MCPS), featuring complex and close interaction of sophisticated treatment algorithms with the physical aspects of the system, and especially thepatient whose safety is of the utmost concern. The goal of this project is to develop a new paradigm for the design and implementation of safe, secure, and reliable MCPS, which includes:

Abstract: Motivation: Energy infrastructure is a critical underpinning of modern society. To ensure its reliable operation, a nation-­‐wide or continent-­‐wide situational awareness system is essential to provide high-­‐resolution understanding of the system dynamics such that proper actions can be taken in real-­‐time in response to power system disturbances and to avoid cascading blackouts. The power grid represents a typical highly dynamic cyber-­‐physical system (CPS).
