* Len Adelman DNA computation papers—highly parallel, solve NP problems he solved a seven-node instance of the Hamiltonian Graph problem, an NP-Complete problem author = Leonard M. Adleman, title = Molecular Computation of Solutions to Combinatorial Problems, journal = Science, november 1994, * Life Sciences Medicine Bio-nano Materials Tissues Bio Sensors Diagnostics Biomarkers Nanoparticles Cancer Nanotechnology Cellular Molecular Dynamics Drug Delivery Therapeutics Imaging Nano Medicine Nanotech to Neurology * Inverse problem – model parameters to be obtained from the model data. The transformation from data to model parameters is a result of the interaction of a physical system such as the Earth * How is this different from traditional embedded computing ? Embedded – is about the physical effects of computing CPS – is about the scaling of systems of embedded systems (a field that we do not understand) * CPS are subject to massive (cascading) failures. Power Grid, Air Traffic, Automotive, Data Centers – CPS in each of these situations will have to respond differently. Communication failures will have to be handled in a graceful degradation fashion. * Attributes of tele-interaction Encompasses: Tele-services (e.g., human services for elderly)– Tele-immersion (e.g., Medical surgery and rehabilitation)– Tele-operation (e.g., hazardous operation) – Tele-supervisory control (e.g., remote construction, traffic management)– Factory automation– Environmental monitoring Dr. Mahapatra Dr. Bettati participated in this “working group” * Haptic technology refers to technology which interfaces the user via the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations and/or motions to the user. It is an emerging technology that promises to have wide reaching applications. Although haptic devices are capable of measuring bulk or reactive forces that is applied by the user it should not to be confused with touch or tactile sensors that measure the pressure or for
