Foundations of Cyber-Physical Infrastructure for Creative Design and Making of Cyber-physical Products

Principal Investigator: Mike Atallah

The focus in this proposal is on the emerging paradigm of democratization of the product innovation process, especially by engaging a vastly larger pool of talent to generate new ideas which in turn will create new cyber-physical products. The primary objective is to lay the foundations of a cyber-physical infrastructure for the creative design and making of realizable products.  This will be done by addressing fundamental barriers to participation, model-based engineering, and information sharing.  The information-security facet of the project aims to overcome information-related impediments to collaboration and information sharing, and thereby enable new forms of interactions between individuals, the physical world, and the computational aspects of product realization.
