This competition provides an opportunity for Texas Tech faculty and students to create innovative technology conceptual designs, research and development of modeling/simulation, gaming, big data analytics, operational guidance and evaluation tools surrounding the following areas:

Cyber physical security Next generation renewable energy Energy conservation systems

Specifically, the competition is interested in posters addressing advanced energy control systems for smart cities, design projects that integrate specific and sensitive detection algorithms, novel encryption technology that adapts to smart controllers, Nanomaterials, and sensors, as well as effective cyber metrics for technologies to be proposed.

This call for Poster submissions provides an opportunity for students and faculty to address human factors issues, vulnerability assessments and systems engineering analysis of software/hardware/controller interfaces and interactions with the human operator & operational environment.

• The relevant technologies and research should be deployable within five years and have a clear market and commercialization potential.

• Industry partners are encouraged.

• Your proposal must be disclosed to the Office of Research Commercialization.
