Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) emerged from the Internet of Things are now widely adopted in industry and government. It connects computational artifacts to the physical world objects. It provides new theories and engineering practices and allows us to model cyber and physical resources in a unified framework. It provides us with real time data and information, coupled with real time data mining techniques which enables real time business analytics and intelligence.
Professor Elizabeth Chang is Professor and Canberra Fellow in the School of Business, the University of New South Wales, at the Australian Defence Force Academy.
Her current research focuses on Defence Logistics and Asset Management; Intelligence Transport Systems, Ambient Security, Cyber-Physical Systems; Trust and Risks, Emergency Situation Awareness; Virtual Collaborative Logistics and underlying technologies including data intelligence and real time predictive analytics.
She is motivated by the idea of “creating value by making connections’ and has special skills in getting industry, public and private sectors to support for academic research.
Ph.D in Applied Mathematics 1976 from the Free University of Brussels (VUB) in Belgium.
Retired Emeritus Full Professor from VUB in October 2013. Founded and directed the Semantics Technology and Applications Research Laboratory (STARLab) there in 1995.
Earlier positions include the University of Antwerp (UIA, 1975-78), Control Data Corp. (Data Management Lab, Brussels, Belgium, 1978-83). Worked there on the definition of the NIAM (now ORM) method as well as languages (RIDL) and first tools for this methodology.
