This $300,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports research at Northwestern University to enhance the retrofitting capabilities of emerging learning-enabled cyber-physical systems (LE-CPSS). The project aims to develop a cross-layer framework called "FLEX" that will make LE-CPSS architectures more extensible and their functionality more adaptive, enabling existing electronic hardware to accommodate changes and updates to extend device lifespan and reduce electronic waste. The research will advance areas such as system-level extensibility-driven design, resource-adaptable neural architectures, and continual on-device learning. This work has the potential for broad environmental, economic, and societal impacts by prolonging the useful life of electronic devices and mitigating the growing challenges of electronic waste.
