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）中有效地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。在现代DES上部署控制和非控制应用程序，它使用先进的处理器和通信技术，在它们的分析和合成中引入了一系列挑战，并导致模型和它们的实现之间存在很大的语义差距。这一差距将填补通过一个新的CPS架构的发展缝合在一起的共同的基本原则，多模态从实时系统和相关的概念切换控制理论，并将它们集成到一个共同设计的实时平台和自适应控制器。该架构将在丰田技术中心的发动机控制和诊断环境中进行验证。该项目的成果将为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交通，其中存在分布式嵌入式系统。除了培训研究生和本科生，并指导博士后助理谁将获得先进控制，实时计算和通信，以及性能分析的多领域专业知识，将开发一个关于嵌入式系统控制的校际研究生课程和一个综合暑期课程，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的外展计划相结合，12个学生。

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.
