The University of Toledo received a $160,425 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems on July 1, 2021 to support research titled "CPS: BREAKTHROUGH: ANALYSIS, IDENTIFICATION AND MITIGATION OF DELAY PERFORMANCE BOTTLENECKS OF NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE IN CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS." The research is funded under the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA #47.070), which supports investigator-initiated research and education in computing, communications, and information science and engineering.
Specifically, the University of Toledo will analyze, identify, and develop approaches to mitigate delays in network infrastructure that can impact performance for cyber-physical systems. The research aims to advance understanding and solutions for bottlenecks that can slow communication between computing and physical elements in modern networked systems. The Project Grant provides $160,425 in funding and runs from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
