Information Systems Synthesis Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that designs and demonstrates computer systems linking the cyber and physical worlds.

AboutAbout the lab
Supporting the fusion of the cyber and physical worlds through computer system design
The Information Systems Synthesis Lab (Onoye Lab) studies the architecture design of computer systems for cyber-physical systems.
Toward a new society that merges cyberspace and physical space, the lab also studies design methodologies for the underlying hardware and software.
Its work covers a wide range, from prototyping to demonstration experiments aimed at real-world deployment.
Its targets include energy management systems, intelligent transportation systems, in-vehicle systems, and medical image analysis.
Key terms
- Cyber-physical systems
- A system that closely ties computational information processing to physical objects in the real world.
- Digital twin
- A real-world object reproduced in a virtual space on a computer.
- Edge
- Computers that process data close to where it is generated, as opposed to in the cloud.
