Abstract :
From an academic experience spent endeavoring to write code and assign design methodology for a XILINX University Program (XUP) FPGA, participants received a glimpse at future intelligent infrastructure design and what it could mean towards improving public safety and homeland security. Participants also received a reality-based appreciation about practical hurdles in creating code for an FPGA (PSoC) and current limitations in preventing engineering disciplines to integrate efforts and unleash the potential powers of ambient intelligence.
