CREST: Center of Emerging Technologies for Advanced Information Processing and High-Confidence Systems

佛罗里达国际大学将设立CREST先进信息处理与高置信度系统新兴技术研究中心佛罗里达国际大学将设立CREST先进信息处理与高置信度系统新兴技术研究中心。这个多学科研究和教育中心将作为一个资源中心，为少数族裔学生提供教育，并推动研究生教育的多样性，特别是在计算机科学和工程的博士水平。除了教育部分，中心还将进行四个主要的研究子项目。(1)高可信度反应性软件系统将通过开发高效和可扩展的方法来建模、指定、分析和实现这样的系统，从而构建高可信度反应性软件系统。(2)多维-多模态数据建模与查询研究侧重于通过有效的查询，智能地使用数据库进行数据挖掘、建模和分析。查询支持过程将产生对多维多媒体数据集的有效访问，并有效地解决这些复杂数据集的解释和可视化问题。(3)辅助技术研究的基础是设计和开发以视觉障碍和失明、运动障碍为重点的实时辅助系统，这是通过将高度可靠和复杂的实时软件和数据库与硬件设计相结合来实现的。(4)高级信息处理与神经科学应用将重点关注具有重要现实应用的信号和成像技术，而神经科学的研究旨在满足生物信号处理和神经康复的新发展需求，因为大脑的功能映射和关键脑功能障碍的因果关系得到了揭示。

HRD 0317692CREST Center for Emerging Technologies for Advanced Information Processing and High-Confidence SystemsFlorida International UniversityPI: Yi DengFlorida International University (FIU) will establish the CREST Center for Emerging Technologies for Advanced Information Processing and High-Confidence Systems. This multidisciplinary research and educational center will serve as a resource center for the education of underrepresented minority students as well as a driving force to increase diversity in graduate education, especially at the Ph.D. level in computer science and engineering.In addition to the educational component, the Center will pursue four major research subprojects. (1) High-Confidence Reactive Software Systems will build high confidence reactive software systems by developing efficient and scalable methods for modeling, specifying, analyzing, and implementing such systems. (2) Multidimensional-Multimodal Data Modeling and Query Research focuses on the intelligent use of databases for data mining, modeling, and analysis through effective queries. The querying support process will yield efficient access over multidimensional multimedia data sets and effectively address the issues of interpretation and visualization of such complex data sets. (3) Assistive Technology Research is based on the design and development of real-time assistive systems that focus on Visual Impairments and Blindness, and Motor Disability, which are achieved through integration of highly dependable and sophisticated real-time software and databases to hardware designs. (4) Advanced Information Processing with Neuroscience Applications will focus on signal and imaging techniques that have significant real-world applications, while the Neuroscience research aims to meet the impending needs for new developments in bio-signal processing and neurorehabilitation as the functional mapping of the brain and the causality of key brain dysfunctions are elicited.
