Measurement Science for Complex Information Systems

Ongoing
What are complex systems? Large collections of interconnected components whose interactions lead to macroscopic behaviors in: Biological systems (e.g., slime molds, ant colonies, embryos) Physical systems (e.g., earthquakes, avalanches, forest fires) Social systems (e.g., transportation networks

Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things Foundations

Ongoing
Objective - To provide a common technical and conceptual foundation for CPS and IoT that enables conceptualization, realization and assurance across all domains, including a comprehensive and traceable methodology for meeting all stakeholder concerns throughout any systems engineering process and

AI-based measurements For Imaging

Ongoing
The problem addressed in this work lies in enabling scientists to apply artificial intelligence (AI) based models to deriving measurements from terabyte-sized images. This problem is important as image-based measurements can become more accurate by introducing supervised AI-based models instead of

Cyber-Physical Systems/Internet of Things for Smart Cities

Ongoing
Objective - To provide the measurement science and standards-based foundations for interoperable, replicable, scalable, and trustworthy cyber-physical systems that can be readily and cost-effectively deployed by cities and communities of all types and sizes to improve their efficiency
