The teams are led by a broad variety of scientists

and engineers

Scientists: geological, computer, atmospheric, anthropologists
Engineers: civil, computer, chemical, environmental, agricultural
Each team has at least three different disciplines

represented

The teams have addressed the SYSTEM
F and E and W
Many of the team members participated in

workshops

There are some international projects

CR CRISP O Obje bject ctives

1. Create new knowledge, approaches, solutions to increase resilience,

performance, readiness in ICIs (Interdependent Critical Infrastructure Systems)

2. Create theoretical frameworks/multidisciplinary models of ICIs,

processes and services for prediction of complex behaviors

3. Develop frameworks to understand interdependencies created by

interactions between physical, cyber, social, behavioral and economic elements of ICIs

4. Understand organizational, social, psychological, legal, economic,

technical obstacles and enablers to improving ICIs

5. Undertake creation, curation or use of publicly accessible data on ICIs

The Martian

A drama about optimizing the trades between food, energy and water … where “smart cities” research enables social well-being in an extremely tough environment – and the trades are not just economic but existential

SLIDE 18

NSF Smart and Connected Community Program

More than just smart cities – towns, rural regions
Advancing our understanding of intra- and inter-community social and

technical dynamics- understanding the pulse of the community

Advances in modeling approaches to discover new opportunities for

improving quality of life, expanding opportunities, and predicting the impact

f new technologies or policy decisions on the community
Understanding community interactions with smart and connected systems

and the role of social, behavioral, and economic, sciences

Advances in education and learning theory to prepare individuals to work

across disciplines and tackle community, city, and systems challenges

CPS 2016 - Mapping and Querying Underground Infrastructure Systems

Developing models and methods to visualize, query,

analyze, and share data on underground infrastructure systems, such as water, gas, electricity, and sewer networks, to managing risks and revitalizing aging infrastructure

Partnerships with the cities of Chicago and

Evanston, IL to help the municipalities maintain and renovate civil infrastructure in a more effective manner

Multidisciplinary team spanning network analysis

and CPS security to data integration and uncertainty to policy implementation and organizational behavior

US Ignite: Networking Research and Application Prototypes

Helped to build the foundation for the National Smart Cities

Initiative, and aligns with the US Ignite National Initiative

Aims to promote US leadership in the development and

deployment of next-generation gigabit applications

Two focus areas:
1. US Ignite Applications: encourages the development of

application ideas and prototypes that leverage or enhance advanced networking technologies

2. Innovating Advanced Networks for Future US Ignite

Applications: supports fundamental research to advance networking technology and protocols
