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方面最具影响力。最值得注意的是，配备微型传感器的联网嵌入式设备可以改善健康和健康的生活方式，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。本项目旨在解决上述应用领域在工程上对可靠、安全、经济的嵌入式设备提出的挑战。为了实现这一目标，我们专注于：1)安全、故障、歧义和噪音容限的嵌入；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性工程；4)利用新出现的机会。所有这些领域都将通过为我们的应用领域设计具体的系统来推进，这些系统将传递给临床研究，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增强。

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.
