This project will develop new techniques to help advanced computing systems for signal processing better adapt to the environments in which they operate. This project is important because signal processing is everywhere (cell phones, computer networks, manufacturing systems, agriculture, etc.). Adapting to the environment helps these systems to operate more reliably by, for example, adapting to changing radio interference or the challenging radio environments presented by clusters of tall buildings. Many of these communication systems are also battery-operated or must run on limited energy; adapting to their operating environments helps to reduce their energy consumption and improve battery life. These techniques are particularly useful for cognitive radio, an emerging technology that allows devices for wireless communication (such as cell phones) to more efficiently use radio spectrum. This project will develop new methods for creating software that can be reconfigured at run time. Typical software is created to operate in a particular mode; changing the software?s operating conditions requires redesigning the software itself. New mathematical models and algorithms will allow system designers to create software that is designed to adapt itself dynamically to its environment. The project will address both models specifying the behavior of the software and for translating that specification into an efficient implementation. The principal investigators will collaborate with colleagues at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA) in Rennes, France, and National Chiao Tung University in Hsinchu, Taiwan. The collaborators in France and Taiwan will provide expertise in cognitive radio algorithms and hardware that complements the principal investigators? expertise in software design. The collaboration will also provide valuable international experience for the student research assistants involved in the project. Cognitive radio will be used a driving example in coursework for undergraduate and graduate students to integrate research results from this project into education. The PIs will actively recruit underrepresented minority students for this project.

该项目将开发新技术，以帮助高级计算系统以更好地适应其操作环境。该项目很重要，因为信号处理无处不在（手机，计算机网络，制造系统，商定等）。适应环境可以帮助这些系统更可靠地操作，例如，适应不断变化的无线电干扰或高大建筑物集群所呈现的无线电环境。这些通信系统中的许多也是电池操作的，或者必须以有限的能量运行；适应其操作环境有助于减少其能耗并改善电池寿命。这些技术对于认知无线电特别有用，这是一种新兴技术，允许无线通信设备（例如手机）更有效地使用无线电频谱。该项目将开发用于创建可以在运行时重新配置的软件的新方法。创建典型的软件以在特定模式下运行；更改软件的操作条件需要重新设计软件本身。新的数学模型和算法将允许系统设计人员创建旨在动态适应其环境的软件。该项目将解决指定软件行为的两个模型，并将其用于将规范的翻译为有效的实现。首席调查人员将与法国雷恩的国家科学贴花研究所（INSA）和位于台湾Hsinchu的国家Chiao Tung University合作。法国和台湾的合作者将提供符合主要研究人员的认知无线电算法和硬件的专业知识？软件设计方面的专业知识。该合作还将为参与该项目的学生研究助理提供宝贵的国际经验。认知无线电将在本科生和研究生的课程中使用一个驱动示例，以将该项目的研究结果整合到教育中。 PI将积极招募该项目代表性不足的少数族裔学生。
