Overview of Current Research Activities
- Networked Embedded System
Analysis and fundamentally sound treatment of system-level issues in the design, development, production, and use of networked embedded systems.
- Simulation and Emulation of Networked Embedded Systems
Investigation and development of parallel and hybrid simulation/emulation platforms for large scale networked embedded systems (such as for sensor networks).
- Wireless Sensor Networks
Design and development of efficient algorithms for deployment, performance analysis, coverage, decision support, operation optimization, security, and privacy in ad-hoc wireless sensor networks. - Smart Spaces and Environment Control
Automated monitoring and control of daily environments including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, humidity control, and design of smart spaces. - Automated Design Space Exploration
Intelligent and automated design space exploration of networked embedded systems at all levels: starting from application-level algorithms, but also including middleware, protocols, operating systems, device drivers, and platforms and fabrics optimizations. - Application Specific Compilers
Design and implementation of application specific compilers for DSP, wireless, power-critical, security and privacy management, and other domains. - Watermarking and Computational Security
Topics including secure and verifiable program execution, and authorship proofs such as watermarking and fingerprinting of digital media (specifically, digital designs).
