DESCRIPTION:Multi-Domain Coupling in Cyber-Physical Systems Design
URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.csa.iisc.ac.in/newweb/event/129/multi-domain-coupling-in-cyber-physical-systems-design/
SUMMARY:In a cyber-physical system (CPS), hardware and software components control a physical process. Hence, there is a strong interaction between the physical dynamics, the control law, and the software algorithms and hardware resources enabling computation, communication, sensing, actuation, and data storage. Such systems have become very common in several industry sectors such as automotive, avionics, healthcare, manufacturing, and energy. The state of practice in the industry has been to follow a separation of concerns for CPS designs. That is, the control law is calculated and the hardware/software is developed in isolated stages without sufficient knowledge of each other. Thus, the implementation might not preserve the performance guarantees obtained during the control design. Often this leads to a long integration, testing, and debugging phase, besides producing inferior systems. In many cases, it is also challenging to offer safety guarantees.

Considering that many CPSs are safety-critical and cost-sensitive, e.g., modern cars, this talk will advocate the use of integrated modeling, design, and analysis approaches for CPSs. In essence, I will show how the models, metrics, and methods from different engineering domains can be coupled together in a comprehensive framework for the design of safe and cost-efficient CPSs. I will discuss a hybrid optimization technique that enables the co-design of controllers and their distributed software implementations on a realistic automotive hardware platform (i.e., multiple electronic control units connected by a FlexRay bus). I will further illustrate a toolchain, the first of its kind, that integrates the co-design scheme with industry-strength tools for control design and software development respectively. This toolchain enables the design automation for control software. This talk will conclude with a discussion on some promising research directions for next-generation CPSs that need to be secure, adaptive, and autonomous, besides being safe and cost-efficient.
