The City College of New York’s Grove School of Engineering is partnering with three leading Japanese institutes and Columbia University on a mission to innovate 5G/6G communications by developing a Floating Cyber Physical System (F-CPS).
Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech), KDDI Research, Inc., and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) are The City College’s Japanese collaborators in the project funded by a grant of nearly $1million by NICT.
“The project aims to process spatial and temporal data for the applications by allowing the flexible transfer of functions among connected devices, thereby accelerating the near-future smart-city implementations,” said Akira Kawaguchi, computer science professor in CCNY’s Grove School of Engineering, and one of the U.S. advisors.
Two other Grove School professors, electrical engineers Tarek Saadawi and Myung Lee, also serve on the U.S. advisory board.
All the collaborators attended a two-day workshop at the Grove School this fall organized by Kawaguchi and Kyutech Professor Daiki Nobayashi.
The participants reviewed the progress made and worked on different tasks required. In addition, CCNY students gave presentations and lab demos, Columbia offered a site visit for its COSMOS installation, and Kyutech students held a poster session focusing on technical aspects.
About The City College of New York
Since 1847, The City College of New York has provided a high-quality and affordable education to generations of New Yorkers in a wide variety of disciplines. CCNY embraces its position at the forefront of social change. It is ranked #1 by the Harvard-based Opportunity Insights out of 369 selective public colleges in the United States on the overall mobility index. This measure reflects both access and outcomes, representing the likelihood that a student at CCNY can move up two or more income quintiles. Education research organization Degree Choices ranks CCNY #1 nationally among universities for economic return on investment. In addition, the Center for World University Rankings places CCNY in the top 1.8% of universities worldwide in terms of academic excellence. Labor analytics firm Emsi (now Lightcast) puts at $1.9 billion CCNY’s annual economic impact on the regional economy (5 boroughs and 5 adjacent counties) and quantifies the “for dollar” return on investment to students, taxpayers and society. At City College, more than 15,000 students pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees in eight schools and divisions, driven by significant funded research, creativity and scholarship. This year, CCNY launched its most expansive fundraising campaign, ever. The campaign, titled “Doing Remarkable Things Together” seeks to bring the College’s Foundation to more than $1 billion in total assets in support of the College mission. CCNY is as diverse, dynamic and visionary as New York City itself. View CCNY Media Kit.
