Overview

Cyber-physical systems are space, time, and resource aware. They interact with the physical world to achieve a particular application goal. Examples of cyber-physical systems include opportunistic networks of smart phones, smart homes, new technologies for assisted living, and swarms of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). As part of this light seminar, we will discuss challenges in designing and implementing language abstracts, compilers, and runtime environments for cyber-physical systems. Student are expected to present at least one paper and actively particpate in discussions.
