报告摘要:
A cyber-physical system (CPS) is a system with a tight combination of, and coordination between, the system’s computational and physical elements. Today, cyber-physical systems can be found in areas as diverse as energy or smart grid, civil infrastructure, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, entertainment, and consumer appliances. A CPS is typically designed as a network of interacting elements with physical input and output instead of standalone devices.
Such complex networked dynamic systems occurring in many disciplines share similar characteristics: their dynamics are nonlinear; contain deterministic and stochastic terms, spatial and temporal characteristics with interdependent entities; they may comprise of numerous components but their sum effect is not just an aggregation of individual outputs; their interactions can help accomplish a larger goal through synergies that emerge. Novel mathematical models and analyses tools are necessary to represent and understand the behavior of such systems.
In this seminar, we study a simplified yet accurate representation of a cyber-physical system as a network controlled system (NCS). The physical system will be modeled as either an uncertain linear or a nonlinear system incorporating the effects of communication network (or wireless sensor network) imperfections such as network delays and packet losses. The performance of such a NCS will be studied by using a novel adaptive optimal control and event triggered controller designs.  Subsequently, a novel cross-layer network scheduling protocol design will be introduced.
