Insup Lee presented “Challenges and Research Directions in Medical Cyber-Physical Systems” at DTC Science and Technology Innovators Series, University of Minnesota, May 1, 2012.

Rahul Mangharam is Co-chairing the 18th IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS 2012), which is part of CPS Week, held in Beijing, China in April 2012.

ICCPS Chairs Insup Lee and Oleg Sokolsky with CPS Week 2012 General Chair Wei Zhao, April 2012, Beijing, China.

The Best Student Paper Award for the 18th IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS 2012) went to Miroslav Pajic et al for their paper entitled “From Verification to Implementation: A Model Translation Tool and a Pacemaker Case Study” (Co-authors: Zhihao Jiang, Insup Lee, Oleg Sokolsky and Rahul Mangharam).

PRECISE's open house is for members of the embedded systems community to learn more about the engagement with the cyber physical systems (CPS) initiative at The University of Pennsylvania. This is the first of many events that both showcase Cyber-Physical Systems research and also serves as a forum to meet any stakeholder in related and complementary areas.

Heart-on-a-Chip, an embedded systems platform that was the 2012 Senior Design Project of Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE) students Sriram Radhakrishnan, Varun Sampath, and Shilpa Sarode, received first prize in the High-Tech Medical Service category at the 2012 World Embedded Software Competition held in Seoul, Korea. The platform, originally called Pacemaker Verification System, was developed in the laboratory of Rahul Mangharam, Stephen J. Angello Term Assistant Professor in ESE and included collaborations with Zhihao Jiang and Miroslav Pajic, doctoral students in Computer and Information Science and ESE. The project was awarded first prize in the Penn Engineering school-wide Senior Design Competition in May 2012.
