Description
This program funds innovative research on cyber-physical systems (CPS)—engineered systems integrating computation, networking, and physical processes. The goal is to develop new theories, methods, and tools for designing, understanding, and deploying CPS with improved adaptability, scalability, resiliency, safety, security, and usability. Supported projects span application domains such as agriculture, transportation, energy, civil infrastructure, healthcare, manufacturing, and more. The program emphasizes cross-disciplinary collaboration, experimental validation, and broader impacts, including education and outreach.
