Cyber-Physical Systems, (Real-time) Networking, the Internet:
where will it go? where will we go?

Speaker: Pr. Daniel Mossé

Professor at University of Pittsburgh, USA

Time: 14:00 - 15:00

Abstract

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are a new paradigm that will bring together many distinct areas of computing. One of the main research topics in CPS is networking, since CPS proposes to bring together many different systems, into what's been called "systems of systems" or the "Internet of Things". Even though new hardware has been enabling several developments in networking, there is still many open issues to be solved before we see the deployment of an unrestricted world-wide network where EveryThing will be connected to EveryThingElse. In this talk, we will point out some of the issues in the junction of CPS, real-time, and networking. In particular, we will talk about data communication and aggregation in sensor networks, dissemination of information (private and public) in CPS-related networks, and timeliness issues with wide-reaching networks. We will also describe some open research problems still to solve in order to enable CPS development and deployment.

Pr. Daniel Mossé: Short Biography

Daniel Mossé received a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Brasilia in 1986, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from the University of Maryland in 1990 and 1993, respectively. He is a Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. His research interests include fault-tolerant and real-time systems, as well as networking.
The current major thrust of his research is real-time systems, power management issues, and networks (wireless and security). Typically funded by NSF and DARPA, Dr. Mosse's projects combine theoretical results and actual implementations. Dr. Mosse has served on PCs and as PC chair for most major IEEE- and ACM-sponsored real-time conferences.
He was an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Computers and is currently on the editorial board of the Kluwer Journal of Real-Time Systems.
