Abstract:
Unprecedented Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) applications such as health care,
connected vehicles and augmented/virtual reality are revolutionizing smart
spaces. These applications span the cloud and edge devices with a critical
dependence on temporal use cases. As such, cloud services are expected to
provide ‘timely responses’ and ‘schedulable demands’, while edge
devices are required to ‘synchronize observations’ and ‘choreograph
actions’ across distributed entities. The goal of my research is to design
new systems that enable time awareness and meet consistency, causality and
scheduling demands of underlying CPS applications running on commodity
platforms. In particular, I design trustworthy systems centered around
extensible time abstractions in the presence of timing variations and
vulnerabilities.

In this talk, I will first discuss the challenges faced by time-aware
applications. I will then motivate and present the necessary timing
abstractions that treat time as a controllable operating system primitive
while taking into account the uncertainty arising from hardware and network
variations. Further, I will discuss timing vulnerabilities in trusted
execution technologies and network security mechanisms; and present my design
of secure global clocks. While my abstractions and system designs can be
applied to many CPS applications, my talk will focus on autonomous driving
use cases.
