Wireless networked control systems are the integration of physical processes with wireless networked computing units. The co-design of control policies and network configuration must take into account the joint dynamics of communication protocols/channels and physical devices… Read more

This talk will focus on the attacker-defender interactions on electricity distribution networks (DNs) that typically have a tree-like topology. Two attack models will be introduced: (i) manipulation of distributed energy resources by a strategic adversary; and (ii) energy… Read more

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) such as autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles, smart buildings, and industrial automation systems, are poised to bring immense economic and societal benefits. However, the design of these systems faces tremendous challenges from the rapid… Read more

High-fidelity models of airport and airspace capacity enable researchers to study modernization strategies that optimize capacity yet require volumes of detailed aircraft movement data. These datasets exist in the public and private realms but are highly challenging and… Read more

Developing correct parallel and distributed software is a daunting task. The parallelism causes the state-spaced explosion problem: the number of states in the system grows exponentially with the number of parallel components. One of the ways to verify that such a system… Read more

For economic reasons, the design and fabrication of semiconductor ICs is increasingly outsourced. This comes at the expense of trust. An untrusted entity, for instance a malicious designer or semiconductor foundry could pirate the design, or worse, maliciously modify it to… Read more

Energy-efficiency is a critical concern in continuously-running mobile applications, such as those for health and context monitoring. An attractive approach to saving energy in such applications is to defer the execution of delay-tolerant op- erations until a time when they… Read more

The realization of complex cyber-physical systems is creating design and verification challenges that will soon become insurmountable with today’s engineering practices. While model-based design tools are already facilitating several design tasks, harnessing the complexity of… Read more

A central goal of artificial intelligence (AI) is to develop algorithms and software that can solve complex problems as a human would. AI is poised to have a significant impact on making discoveries in biomedical big data given the availability of powerful algorithms,… Read more

The limited battery capacity of sensor nodes has become the biggest impediment to wireless sensor network (WSN) applications over the years.  Recent breakthroughs in wireless energy transfer, based on rechargeable lithium batteries, provide a promising application of mobile… Read more
