Quality of Time: A New Perspective to Design Cyber-Physical Systems is coming at 03/22/2019 - 10:00am
KEC 1005 Fri, 03/22/2019 - 10:00am Fatima Anwar Ph.D. candidate, Electrical & Computer Engineering, UCLA 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.
