Cyber-Physical Systems

Decision Making Mechanisms and Applications

Beschreibung

As systems continue to evolve they rely less on human decision-making and more on computational intelligence. This trend in conjunction with the available technologies for providing advanced sensing, measurement, process control, and communication lead towards the new field of the Cyber-Physical System (CPS). Cyber-Physical systems are expected to play a major role in the design and development of future engineering platforms with new capabilities that far exceed today's levels of autonomy, functionality and usability. Although these systems exhibit remarkable characteristics, their design and implementation is a challenging issue, as numerous (heterogeneous) components and services have to be appropriately modeled and simulated together. The problem of designing efficient CPS becomes far more challenging in case the target system has to meet also real-time constraints. Cyber-Physical Systems: Decision Making Mechanisms and Applications describes essential theory, recent research and large-scale user cases that addresses urgent challenges in CPS architectures. In particular, it includes chapters on: Decision making for large scale CPS Modeling of CPS with emphasis at the control mechanisms Hardware/software implementation of the control mechanisms Fault-tolerant and reliability issues for the control mechanisms Cyber-Physical user-cases that incorporate challenging decision making

Autor

Kostas Siozios received his Diploma, Master and Ph.D. Degree in ECE from the Democritus University of Thrace, Greece, in 2001, 2003 and 2009, respectively. He is currently an Assistant Professor in School of Physics of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (A.U.Th.), Thessaloniki, Greece. From 2009-2016, he was senior researcher in the National Technical University of Athens (N.T.U.A.), Greece. His research interests are in the areas of recon¿gurable and embedded systems, the development of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) algorithms, the cyber-physical systems, as well as the implementation of low-complexity control mechanisms. He has published more than 150 papers in international journals and conferences, while he is also co-author or co-editor of 7 books of Springer and CRC. Starting from 2002 he has participated as principal investigator in more than 20 research projects funded from the European Commission (E.C.), European Space Agency (E.S.A.), as well as the Greek Government and Industry.
