The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded Kennesaw State University Research And Service Foundation, Inc. $356,782 on August 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop methods for efficient and secure execution of multiple intelligent services on vehicle computing systems. The research addresses resource management and safety challenges in modern autonomous and connected vehicles, which must run diverse artificial intelligence and software applications simultaneously on shared hardware while meeting strict timing, power, and reliability constraints. The project pursues two complementary research directions. The first thrust investigates hardware and software collaboration to improve artificial intelligence workload efficiency through adaptive pipeline parallelism, cross-layer scheduling, and optimized input and output processing. The second thrust examines security and isolation mechanisms for mixed-criticality workloads by developing adaptive resource management, container-specific kernel environments, and lightweight hardware-assisted protection techniques. Performance of the work occurs in Kennesaw, Georgia, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
