DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jose L. Ayala\, Computense University of Madrid\nCyber P
 hysical Systems (CPS) are smart networked systems with embedded sensors\, 
 processors and actuators that are designed to sense and interact with the 
 physical world (including the human users)\, and support real-time\, guara
 nteed performance in safety-critical applications. In CPS systems\, the jo
 int behavior of the “cyber” and “physical” elements of the system 
 is critical - computing\, control\, sensing and networking are deeply inte
 grated into every component\, and the actions of components and systems mu
 st be carefully orchestrated.\nRobots\, intelligent buildings\, implantabl
 e medical devices\, cars that drive themselves or planes that automaticall
 y fly in a controlled airspace—these are all examples of CPS. Today\, CP
 S can be found in such diverse industries as aerospace\, automotive\, ener
 gy\, healthcare\, manufacturing\, infrastructure\, consumer electronics\, 
 and communications. Everyday life is becoming increasingly dependent on th
 ese systems—in some cases with dramatic improvements.\nBut CPS also pose
  a set of strategic R&D opportunities that must be addressed to enable adv
 anced CPS to reach their potential and deliver broad societal benefits in 
 the future. In this context\, challenges like selfish vs. malicious vs. fa
 ulty behavior\, observability\, fairness or heterogeneous systems must be 
 addressed.\nThis talk will present how the concepts of cooperative network
 s\, cognitive networking and novel data fusion techniques can be applied i
 n the CPS domain to achieve a smarter world. As a proof of concept\, the u
 se of these techniques for green buildings\, intelligent transportation an
 d personalized helthcare systems will be presented.\nBio: Jose L. Ayala is
  currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Architectu
 re and Automation at the Complutense University of Madrid. He received his
  MSc and PhD degrees in Telecommunication Engineering from the Technical U
 niversity of Madrid\, Spain\, in 2001 and 2005\, respectively. He also hol
 ds a MSc in Applied Physics and a BSc in Neuropsychology. He is member of 
 the HiPEAC European Network of Excellence\, IEEE\, ACM\, IFIP 10.5 and the
  Council of Electronic Design Automation. He has organized several interna
 tional events as General Chair and Program Chair\, such as VLSI-SoC\, GLSV
 LSI and PATMOS. He has served as TPC member of many conferences\, includin
 g DATE\, DAC\, VLSI-SoC\, ICCAD\, GLSVLSI\, etc. He has leaded and partici
 pated in a large number of international research projects and bilateral p
 rojects with industry\, in the fields of power and energy optimization of 
 embedded systems\, and non-invasive health monitoring. His current researc
 h interests focus on health monitoring\, wireless sensor networks\, evolut
 ionary approaches for optimization problems\, thermal- \, energy-aware des
 ign and management of processor-based systems\, design of embedded process
 ors\, thermal estimation and 3D integration.
