Real-Time Systems

Tarek F. Abdelzaher
Prof. Abdelzaher is especially interested in developing theory, architectural support, and computing abstractions for predictability in software systems, motivated by increasing software complexity and the growing sources of non-determinism. Applications range from sensor networks to large-scale server farms, and from avionics to homeland defense.
Michael B. Bragg

Professor Bragg's two primary areas of research are aircraft icing and unsteady aerodynamics. Both of these areas involve the study of unsteady and highly separated fluid flows. Much of this research is conducted in the wind tunnels of the Aerodynamics Research Laboratory, which Dr. Bragg co-directs.
Victoria L. Coverstone

Prof. Coverstone is the director of the Computational Astrodynamic Research Lab at UIUC. Dr. Coverstone's research activities are dynamics, control, and design of aerospace systems. Specific applications are the control of spacecraft and the design of optimal spacecraft trajectories.
Sayan Mitra

Professor Mitra's work deals with the modeling and analysis of real-time, hybrid, and probabilistic systems, as well as software tools for and applications of them. Typical applications include control systems, robotics, mobile networks, and biological systems.
Lui Sha

Processors, memory, storage, networking are becoming so small, powerful, and inexpensive that they are giving birth to a new generation of digital infrastructure, in which computing, communication, sensing, and control are tightly integrated.
