报告摘要:

       Cars, airplanes, buildings, robots, …… , in many domains, cyber-physical systems have become pervasive, where control and computation applications implemented on embedded platforms interact with mechanical components, physical environment and humans. However, designing such systems faces tremendous challenges from the fast increase of system scale and heterogeneity, the close interaction with dynamic environment and human activities, the employment of distributed architectural platforms, and the stringent requirements on various design metrics. To address these challenges, a new set of design automation methods and tools are needed for the modeling, synthesis and verification of cyber-physical systems.

        In this talk, I will discuss some of the unique challenges in CPS design, and present our work on model-based design and synthesis of automotive electronic systems and energy-efficient buildings. In particular, I will introduce a software synthesis framework for generating correct, predictable and efficient software implementations from functional models, while addressing system metrics including safety, security, control performance, fault tolerance, reliability and extensibility. I will also briefly talk about our work on cross-layer design for CPS security, and energy-efficient building management and its integration with grid-level optimization.
