Adaptive Computing LabsFuture computers will no longer be centrally located in boxes as we currently know it but will instead be pervasively embedded into the environment. For such computer systems to work effectively, many technical breakthroughs are required. Our research is targeted towards solving two of the main problems in such systems. The first problem is the necessity for the system to be aware of its own components and the environmental context that it is in. Awareness is necessary as the computer system will not be able to assist humans effectively unless it knows all the important factors that currently affect the outcome of any action. The second main problem is the necessity for the system to be able to take actions autonomously to guarantee levels of service in the presence of changes in the environment and failures in its components. This ability to respond autonomously is becoming necessary as the complexity of systems is growing beyond the ability of humans to manage without assistance. The use of adaptivity is one of the keys to building effective self and context aware autonomic systems and is the main theme of research in the Adaptive Computing Labs. to:
Welcome to AdaComp, the Adaptive Computing Labs!In the near future, computers will no longer be treated as boxes on the desktop as we know them today. Instead, they will be embedded pervasively into our living environment, an environment that is much more versatile and variable than the desktop. To operate effectively, computers must adapt effectively to changes in this new environment, everything from a crashed network router to the sudden appearance of many users. Our goal is to develop the key technologies for building adaptive systems, systems that can respond and adapt to rapid changes in their operating environments. Our research program contains two thrusts:

SMACS Adaptive Computing LabsThe need for computing systems that adapt automaticallyToday's computer technology is brittle, not only for catastrophic emergencies, but for simple changes, such as installing a new version of the operating system, changing the network vendor, adding a new computer, or coping with a crashed router. If we only had to worry about emergencies, we'd be okay most of the time. Increasingly, however, more and more human effort is devoted to adapting their computer systems. Manual adaptation of computer systems cannot continue. The complexity of the systems is growing, and the complexity of the data that systems must work with is also growing. We are rapidly evolving toward computer systems of worldwide scope and immense complexity. Not just worldwide communication networks of somewhat isolated systems, but worldwide pervasive, embedded computing with literally millions of computational components. In the past, for small, isolated systems, it was possible for a human to understand their circumstances well enough to engineer and configure appropriate solutions directly. As systems become global, pervasive, and embedded, however, manual adaptivity will cease to be a realistic option for two reasons:
To address these scaling problems, we need to enable systems to adapt automatically to their changing environments. Research ProgramWe seek to develop an adaptive infrastructure to understand the various trade-offs in the design of a computing system, to support flexible and economical computing frameworks, and to develop techniques for diverse applications of adaptive computing systems. Unlike current static systems, which are designed to perform only a single task within anticipated operating conditions, we propose to enable the development of systems with capabilities for:
Showcase Project: Health monitoring and care for the elderlyThe longer lifespans made possible by modern medicine mean that an increasing percentage of our society is composed of elderly people. Enabling the elderly to lead productive, independent lives benefits society substantially. Many of the elderly, however, will ultimately have health issues, ranging from heart disease to Alzheimer's, that threaten their independence. Enabling them to stay at home longer both benefits their well-being and reduces demands for caregivers and medical facilities. We envisage monitoring the health and activities of elderly people in their homes through an extensive set of pervasive sensors, including fixed cameras, microphones, and wearable medical devices. The data from these sensors is processed to detect anomalies that indicate a need for human intervention. Remote family or caregivers are notified and can rest assured that professional or emergency help is called in a timely manner in case of an emergency. This scenario calls for important new capabilities:

The longer lifespans made possible by modern medicine mean that an increasing percentage of our society is composed of elderly people. Enabling the elderly to lead productive, independent lives benefits society substantially. Many of the elderly, however, will ultimately have health issues, ranging from heart disease to Alzheimer's, that threaten their independence. Enabling them to stay at home longer both benefits their well-being and reduces demands for caregivers and medical facilities. We envisage monitoring the health and activities of elderly people in their homes through an extensive set of pervasive sensors, including fixed cameras, microphones, and wearable medical devices. The data from these sensors is processed to detect anomalies that indicate a need for human intervention. Remote family or caregivers are notified and can rest assured that professional or emergency help is called in a timely manner in case of an emergency. This scenario calls for important new capabilities:

Today's computer technology is brittle, not only for catastrophic emergencies, but for simple changes, such as installing a new version of the operating system, changing the network vendor, adding a new computer, or coping with a crashed router. If we only had to worry about emergencies, we'd be okay most of the time. Increasingly, however, more and more human effort is devoted to adapting their computer systems. Manual adaptation of computer systems cannot continue. The complexity of the systems is growing, and the complexity of the data that systems must work with is also growing. We are rapidly evolving toward computer systems of worldwide scope and immense complexity. Not just worldwide communication networks of somewhat isolated systems, but worldwide pervasive, embedded computing with literally millions of computational components. In the past, for small, isolated systems, it was possible for a human to understand their circumstances well enough to engineer and configure appropriate solutions directly. As systems become global, pervasive, and embedded, however, manual adaptivity will cease to be a realistic option for two reasons:

We seek to develop an adaptive infrastructure to understand the various trade-offs in the design of a computing system, to support flexible and economical computing frameworks, and to develop techniques for diverse applications of adaptive computing systems.
