Three challenges in cyber-physical systems

摘要: The tight coupling of computation, communication and control with physical systems such as actuation closed-loop medical devices within the human body, peak power minimization by coordination controllers across large industrial plants, fast life-critical decision making autonomous vehicles, present a set fundamental unique challenges. Each these require new approaches at intersection multiple scientific, disciplines. We discuss five challenges which creative insights application model-based design, systems, scheduling theory, formal methods, statistical machine learning domain-specific experimentation. ask following questions: (1) An device is implanted to your heart over period 5–7 years. How do you guarantee software in provides safe effective treatment under all physiological conditions? (2) Electricity prices US have summer peaks that are 32× their average winter 86×. can buildings respond massive swings energy time scales? (3) While wireless has been successfully used for open-loop monitoring tracking, how we operate network controllers. Furthermore, ensure robust, optimal secure presence node/link failures topology changes?
