Abstract: |
The Integrative, Hybrid and Complex Systems (IHCS) program supports innovative research in nano/microsystems, communication systems and cyber systems that integrates physical devices and components with computational intelligence and networks. The goal is to design, develop, and implement new nano/micro/macro complex and hybrid systems with engineering solutions for a variety of domain-specific applications in healthcare, homeland security, disaster mitigation, energy, telecommunications, environment, transportation, manufacturing, and other systems-related areas. IHCS will also support integration technologies at both the intra- and inter- chip level that target new communications system architectures. Proposals for the IHCS program may involve collaborative research to capture the breadth of expertise needed for such multidisciplinary integrative activities. |
