IUCRC Planning Grant University of Michigan Dearborn: Center for Pervasive Personalized Intelligence Center

物联网（IoT）是指计算设备（例如，手机、家用电器、车辆等）的生态系统。通过互联网相互连接。普适个性化智能（PPI）中心的目标是使下一代物联网系统更加主动和个性化，而不影响安全性和隐私，从而改善决策，提高效率并实现新型计算应用。该提案将研究与工业界以及科罗拉多大学博尔德分校（CU）和俄勒冈州州立大学（OSU）的两个PPI站点合作，在密歇根大学迪尔伯恩分校（UM-Dearborn）建立一个新的PPI站点的可行性。UM-Dearborn的研究人员将在三个方向上调查基础研究：智能交通、智能能源和软件工程智能。首先，在智能交通的推动下，研究人员将开发新的算法和技术，通过人工智能实现联网和自动化车辆的个性化和上下文感知操纵，即，智能个性化。其次，对于智能能源的推动力，研究人员将创造新技术，为电力生产者提供新的人工智能辅助个性化需求响应技术。最后，在软件工程智能的推动下，研究人员将探索帮助软件开发人员构建优化的PPI应用程序的方法，这些应用程序可以在网络物理系统中高效安全地部署和发展。物联网的进步影响日常生活的许多方面。PPI中心探索人工智能，计算系统，可编程性，能源，可视化以及计算机安全和隐私方面的研究方向，这些研究方向广泛适用于物联网系统以外的各种其他科学领域，如环境科学，农业，生物学，运输和机器人技术。研究成果将通过出版物、向工业界和学术界的研究报告、开源代码和工业合作传播。PPI中心致力于通过与UM-Dearborn的项目合作，扩大对计算的参与，例如，为行业工程师开设暑期学校和K-12外展。为了提高代表性不足人群的保留率，拟议的中心将与技术协会合作，展示PPI应用程序，帮助人类。PPI中心将维护一个可公开访问的项目库，该库将存储开源代码，公开可用的数据集，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得的通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the ecosystem of computing devices (e.g. cellphones, household appliances, vehicles, etc.) connected to each other via the internet. The goal of the Pervasive Personalized Intelligence (PPI) Center is to enable the next generation of IoT systems to be more proactive and personalized without compromising security and privacy, thereby improving decision making, increasing efficiency and enabling new types of computing applications. This proposal will study the feasibility of establishing a new PPI site at the University of Michigan-Dearborn (UM-Dearborn) in collaboration with industry and the two PPI sites at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU) and Oregon State University (OSU).Researchers at UM-Dearborn will investigate foundational research under three thrusts: Intelligent Transportation, Smart Energy, and Software Engineering Intelligence. First, under the intelligent transportation thrust, investigators will develop new algorithms and techniques enabling personalized and context-aware maneuvering of connected and automated vehicles via artificial intelligence, i.e., intelligent personalization. Second, for the smart energy thrust, investigators will create new techniques that enable novel AI-assisted personalized demand response technologies for electric prosumers. Finally, under the software engineering intelligence thrust, investigators will explore methods to help software developers to build optimized PPI applications that can be efficiently and securely deployed and evolved in cyber-physical systems.Advances in IoT impact many facets of everyday life. The PPI Center explores research thrusts in Artificial Intelligence, Computing Systems, Programmability, Energy, Visualization, and Computer Security and Privacy that are broadly applicable beyond IoT systems to a variety of other scientific domains such as environmental science, agriculture, biology, transportation, and robotics. The research outputs will be disseminated through publications, research presentations to industry and academia, open-source code and industrial collaborations. The PPI Center is committed to broadening participation in computing through, for example, summer schools for industry engineers and K-12 outreach through partnerships with UM-Dearborn’s programs. To improve the retention of underrepresented populations, the proposed Center will work with technology associations to showcase PPI applications that help humanity.The PPI Center will maintain a publicly accessible project repository that will store open-source code, publicly available datasets, papers and other research outputs that can be disseminated to the general public on ppicenter.org.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
