On April 4th, we hosted the 2025 Workshop on Interdisciplinary Research on Cyber-Physical Systems: Applications, Security, and Education at Virginia Tech. It was an energizing day of cross-disciplinary exchange, collaboration, and vision-building for the future of CPS. I was honored to co-organize this event with Dr. Na Meng and Dr. Daphne Yao—thank you both forContinue reading “CPS 2025 Workshop Recap | Grateful and Inspired!”

Assistance from the Ambient Intelligence: Cyber–physical system applications in smart buildings for cognitively declined occupants
Abstract Caregivers have traditionally provided assistance and care to patients with cognitive decline, but this has resulted in financial and emotional burdens for both caregivers and patients, impacting their quality of life. To address this issue, Ambient Assistive Living (AAL) technologies that incorporate Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can replace or complement caregivers by enabling intelligentContinue reading “Assistance from the Ambient Intelligence: Cyber–physical system applications in smart buildings for cognitively declined occupants”
Internet of Things Enabled Data Acquisition Framework for Smart Building Applications
Abstract With the networks of sophisticated sensors and devices, building systems have the potential to serve as the infrastructure that provides essential data for the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled smart city paradigm. However, current building systems lack intersystem connectivity or exposure to the more extensive networks of IoT devices. In this paper, the authors proposeContinue reading “Internet of Things Enabled Data Acquisition Framework for Smart Building Applications”
BIM assisted Building Automation System information exchange using BACnet and IFC
Highlights Abstract Smart buildings are the trend of the next generation’s commercial buildings that link different building systems together with the Building Automation System (BAS). Building information modeling (BIM) assists in data exchange and information flow. Previous research has explored BAS and BIM integration for energy management, building design optimization and operation, and building fault detection and diagnostics. However, it is rarely seenContinue reading “BIM assisted Building Automation System information exchange using BACnet and IFC”
A review of building information modeling (BIM) and the Internet of Things (IoT) devices integration: Present status and future trends
Highlights Abstract The integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with real-time data from the Internet of Things (IoT) devices presents a powerful paradigm for applications to improve construction and operational efficiencies. Connecting real-time data streams from the rapidly expanding set of IoT sensor networks to the high-fidelity BIM models provides numerous applications. However, BIM and IoT integration research areContinue reading “A review of building information modeling (BIM) and the Internet of Things (IoT) devices integration: Present status and future trends”
