The National Science Foundation awarded a $584,714 project grant to the George Washington University under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to support research on expeditious computing from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025.
The project aims to develop a holistic framework called "expedient computing" to balance the timeliness, accuracy, and freshness of results against the energy consumed in processing large volumes of data from sensor nodes at network edges. Key activities include characterizing fundamental tradeoffs, exploring emerging edge server hardware designs, developing an integrated optimization framework, and demonstrating expeditious computing principles across domains like edge computing, mobile sensing, and the Internet of Things. Outcomes could significantly improve performance by maximizing precision, timeliness, energy efficiency, and their tradeoffs in broad application areas.
