Engineering Deeply Embedded Systems

嵌入式计算机系统在与人们日常生活中重要的物理和生物过程紧密结合时最具影响力。最值得注意的是，健康和健康的生活方式可以通过配备微型传感器的网络嵌入式设备来增强，以应对加拿大影响最大的领域：慢性病（包括糖尿病和睡眠障碍）和人口老龄化。该项目旨在解决工程上的挑战，可靠，安全和经济的嵌入式设备集中在上述应用。为了实现这一目标，我们专注于：1）安全，容错，模糊和噪声容忍嵌入，2）实现质量目标，包括严格的认证标准，3）集成多传感器系统的生产工程和4）利用新兴的机会。所有领域都将通过为我们的应用领域设计具体的系统来推进，并通过对从试验和我们的模型中获得的数据进行分析研究来进行临床研究。

Embedded computer systems are most impactful in a tight integration with physical and biological processes of importance in people's daily lives. Most notably, health and healthy lifestyle can be enhanced by networked embedded devices equipped with miniaturized sensors to deal with the areas of greatest impact in Canada: chronic disease (including diabetes and sleep disorder) and the aging population. This project is aimed at resolving the challenges in engineering dependable, safe and economical embedded devices focusing on the above applications. Towards this goal, we concentrate on: 1) safe, fault-, ambiguity- and noise-tolerant embedding, 2) achieving the quality aims, including strict certification standards, 3) productive engineering of integrated multi-sensory systems and 4) capitalizing on emerging opportunities. All the areas will be advanced by designing concrete systems for our application areas, to be passed to clinical studies and augmented by the analytical investigation of the data obtained from trials and from our models.
