CPS: Medium: Collaborative Research: Co-Design of Multimodal CPS Architectures and Adaptive Controllers

该项目的重点是在分布式嵌入式系统（DES）中高效实现多个控制和非控制汽车应用，目标是开发安全，可靠和安全的汽车CPS。DES非常有吸引力，因为它们通过连接一系列设备和传感器并允许以前所未有的方式处理信息，从根本上增强了底层系统的能力。在使用先进处理器和通信技术的现代DES上部署控制和非控制应用程序，在分析和综合方面引入了许多挑战，并导致模型与其实现之间存在很大的语义差距。这一差距将通过一种新的CPS架构的发展来填补，该架构将实时系统的多模态的共同基本原则和控制理论中切换的相关概念拼接在一起，并将它们集成到实时平台和自适应控制器的协同设计中。该架构将在丰田技术中心进行发动机控制和诊断方面的验证。该项目的成果将为分布式嵌入式系统存在的任何和所有基础设施系统提供科学和技术基础，从金融和能源到电信和运输。除了培训研究生和本科生，并指导一名博士后助理，该博士后助理将获得高级控制、实时计算和通信以及性能分析等多领域的专业知识外，还将开发一门关于嵌入式系统控制的校际研究生和综合暑期课程，并与麻省理工学院和宾夕法尼亚大学正在进行的针对少数民族和女性本科生和K-12学生的推广项目相结合。

The focus of this project is the efficient implementation of multiple control and non-control automotive applications in a distributed embedded system (DES) with a goal of developing safe, dependable, and secure Automotive CPS. DES are highly attractive due to the fact that they radically enhance the capabilities of the underlying system by linking a range of devices and sensors and allowing information to be processed in unprecedented ways. Deploying control and non-control applications on a modern DES, which uses advanced processor and communication technology, introduces a host of challenges in their analysis and synthesis, and leads to a large semantic gap between models and their implementation. This gap will be filled via the development of a novel CPS architecture by stitching together common fundamental principles of multimodality from real-time systems and related notions of switching in control theory and integrating them into a co-design of real-time platforms and adaptive controllers. This architecture will be validated at the Toyota Technical Center in the context of engine control and diagnostics.The results of this project will provide the science and technology for a foundation in any and all infrastructure systems ranging from finance and energy to telecommunication and transportation where distributed embedded systems are present. In addition to training the graduate and undergraduate students, and mentoring a post-doctoral associate who will gain multi-domain expertise in advanced control, real-time computation and communication, and performance analysis, an inter-school graduate and an integrated summer course will be developed on control in embedded systems and combined with on-going outreach programs at MIT and UPenn for minority and women undergraduate students and K-12 students.
