Project Summary

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is a joint initiative between the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and the Directorate for Engineering (ENG). By abstracting from the particulars of specific application domains, the CPS program aims to reveal cross-cutting fundamental scientific and engineering principles that underpin the integration of cyber and physical elements across all application sectors. The CPS program also supports the development of methods and tools as well as hardware and software components, run-time substrates, and systems based upon these principles to expedite and accelerate the realization of cyber-physical systems in a wide range of applications. Furthermore, the program aims to create a new research and education community committed to the study and application of cyber-physical system innovations, through the establishment of a CPS Virtual Organization (CPS-VO) and regular PI meetings.

This project represents a joint effort of two highly active and experienced researchers in the fields of (i) data mining and information network analysis, and (ii) physical/sensor networking and medical care network applications, respectively. Combining our expertise and joining our research efforts, we propose to take care-net, i.e., medical care cyber-physical network, as its key application and investigate the foundations, methodologies, algorithms and implementations of cyber-physical networks. In particular, we propose to study three critical issues in the design and construction of cyber-physical networks. (1) Rare event detection and analysis in cyber-physical data streams, including rare event detection, rare event analysis, and multidimensional analysis for cyber-physical streams, (2) Reliable and trusted data analysis with cyber-physical networks, including veracity analysis for object consolidation and redundancy elimination, entity resolution and information integration, and feedback interaction between cyber- and physical- networks, and (3) Spatiotemporal data analysis in cyber-physical networks, including spatiotemporal cluster analysis and sequential pattern mining in cyber-physical networks and evolution of cyber-physical networks. The research results are to be published in various research and application forums and be integrated into the educational programs at UIUC.  The progress of the project and the research results are also disseminated via the project Web site (http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/homes/hanj/projs/cps.htm).

Project Impact

§  Education:  Parts of the new research results are used in Data Mining courses (CS412, CS512) for both undergraduate and graduate students being taught in the Department of Computer Science, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.    Moreover, the research results have been and will continuously be published timely in international conferences and journals and be distributed world-wide for education and research.  The new progress will also be integrated into the new edition of our data mining textbook and other research collections.

§  Collaborations: For this project we have established collaborations with Boeing, ARL, NASA, HP Labs, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yahoo! Research, Microsoft Research, and NCSA (National Center of Supercomputer Applications).  Through such collaborations we expect to have access to real datasets and applications and produce more research results.

 

Current and Future Activities

Area Background

This project is based on the previous research on data mining, information network analysis, spatiotemporal data analysis, and data cube and multidimensional analysis.    There have been many research papers published on these themes.   Several textbooks on data mining,  information retrieval and information network analysis provide good overviews of the principles and algorithms, including (Han and Kamber, 2006, (Hastie, Tibshirani, and Friedman,  2ed., 2009) and (Miller and Han 2009).
