A team comprising multiple CRISP faculty won an NSF Center from the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Program. The Center is called Chorus, and is funded for 5 years, 2024-29 (www.choruscomputes.xyz). Chorus is directed by CRISP Director, Prof. Saurabh Bagchi and has as thrust leads, CRISP faculty, Profs. Somali Chaterji and Shreyas Sundaram. Prof. Aravind Machiry is also a Co-PI on the Center.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are typically composed of interconnected hardware and software components, which individually may not be inherently highly reliable or secure. However, several CPS applications demand a high degree of safety, security, and reliability. Thus, the fundamental charter of Chorus is developing the principle for constructing highly dependable CPS applications from building blocks that are, in themselves, not inherently reliable.

Chorus will develop rigorous, scientific mechanisms to enable CPS resilience against a large universe of perturbations. Its application domain is Connected and Autonomous Transportation Systems (CATS) and thus, the benefits of CHORUS will be demonstrated through improvements in safety and security in this domain.

The Center is led by Purdue, and collaborating institutions are University of Southern California, Georgia Tech, and University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Our industry partners come from General Motors, Amazon, Adobe, Microsoft Azure, Intel, and Indiana Department of Transportation.
