London CPS Workshop

Workshop on the Control of Cyber-Physical Systems October 20-21, 2012 University of Notre Dame London Centre organized by University of Notre Dame, USA KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden

Workshop Scope and Purpose

Recent technological developments in sensing, communications, control and computation have created an emerging class of complex systems, called Cyber-Physical Systems. Cyber-Physical Systems are characterized by large numbers of tightly integrated heterogeneous components in a network, which may expand and contract dynamically. Cyber-Physical Systems are very common and are becoming increasingly ubiquitous. The control of such systems presents huge challenges and requires designs drawn from approaches such as those in traditional control, hybrid control systems, discrete event systems, and networked control. In addition, robustness, reliability and security issues for reconfiguring dynamical systems must also be addressed. This integration of different technologies and scientific domains presents new and challenging fundamental problems underlying the theoretical foundations for this class of systems.

This single-track workshop will bring together researchers in Systems and Control, interested in different aspects of Cyber-Physical Systems, in order to exchange research experiences and to identify the main scientific challenges in this rapidly growing research area. The participation is by invitation.

In the 2012 US NSF CPS PI meeting, Panos Antsaklis delivered a keynote address in the Science of CPS Session presenting an Introduction to Control Research Opportunities in CPS.

Final Report

The workshop organizers generated a final report, which summarizes the meeting and critical aspects of CPS and related research.
