The Complex Engineered Systems Lab [CESL] at The University of Akron is a state-of-the-art research facility for investigating networked embedded systems.

Our research activities focus on regulating the behaviors of highly engineered systems by using a collection of Microcontrollers that interact with :

• The physical world via Sensors and Actuators
• Each other over low power Wireless Links.

Research Thrusts

• Composable and Reconfigurable Automation


• Secure Data Aggregation


• Architectures for large-scale, loosely coupled systems
