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 project is to demonstrate that new cyber physical architectures will enable closed-loop sensor networks to be shared among multiple applications. This aids in dynamically allocating sensing and computing resources necessary to analyze sensor data and perform sensor actuation. Existing closed-loop sensor networks are based on dedicated, ``stove-pipe'' architectures, that prevent the sharing of these networks.

Abstract: The project aims to establish a Cyber-Physical Infrastructure for urban environments and address fundamental problems that involve data collection, resource allocation, real-time decision making, safety, and security.

The iShadow project aims to develop an end-to-end system that includes novel ultra-low power computational eyeglasses capable of detecting eye movement and features of the external environment. It will provide real-time sensing, processing, and inference capability. Using this system, we will be able to provide the fundamental knowledge base necessary to discover patterns of human behavior and to leverage such patterns to improve transportation and healthcare.
