Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) have radically transformed engineering solutions over the last decade and garnered considerable attention, improving infrastructure performance through the combination of sensing, computing, and control. CPSs have even expanded to include human-in-the-loop control, where humans serve as operators or supervisors. While these paradigms have been wildly successful for the design and operation of […]

We are increasingly conscious of the environmental challenges we face: solid, liquid, and airborne waste streams; shortages of water, select materials, and energy resources; and climate change. Manufacturing produces and supplies the goods and services needed by society and is an engine of prosperity. However, like many other aspects of engineering, fundamental changes are needed […]
