Dependable Wireless Control through Cyber-Physical Co-Design
Abstract
Industrial wireless control systems are the new frontier of cyber-physical systems. While the adoption of industrial wireless standards has demonstrated the promise of wireless sensor-actuator networks in industrial environments, there remain daunting challenges in developing control systems that are dependable over wireless networks due to communication delays, data losses and resource constraints in such networks. In contrast to traditional approaches of designing wireless and control subsystems in isolation, we need a cyber-physical co-design approach that co-joins wireless and control designs to overcome the limitations of wireless communication. This talk will present recent advances toward dependable wireless control systems: (1) real-time wireless sensor-actuator networks with delay guarantees; (2) control-aware wireless network design; (3) realistic case studies of industrial control systems through holistic wireless cyber-physical simulations. The talk will further highlight research challenges and opportunities in the exciting area of industrial wireless sensor-actuator networks.
