Tutorial – Half Day Session
Industrial Cyber Physical Systems: Modeling and Simulations of Real World Applications

Abstract : Cyber-Physical System (CPS) integrates digital or cyber components with physical objects (e.g. machines, autonomous vehicles) and data with various capabilities of communication, data generation, data processing, computation, decision making, and action. CPS is an integrated system involving Sensors, Communication, Actuators, Control, interconnected computing networks, and data analytics. They are increasingly pervading their ways to all parts of our lives where applications range from agriculture and healthcare to energy, manufacturing and social networks. Advances in CPS will enable new capabilities and improved adaptability, scalability, and usability that will far exceed those current embedded systems. Therefore, there is a need to create an integrated ecosystem for convergence among all stakeholders towards CPS technology development and practical implementations. This tutorial is intended to cover principles and foundations of modeling and analysis of cyber physical systems. This will begin with reviewing the concepts of embedded systems design and gradually transition towards advanced system modeling such as synchronous and asynchronous models, modeling hybrid systems, etc., with primary focus on the top-level system design and in particular on the interplay between software components and physical dynamics.

Learning Objective : Upon completion of this tutorial, the audience will have the capability to:

• Understand the fundamentals to interpret and model cyber physical systems.
• Analyze existing systems with performance metrics such as efficiency, safety, and ease-of-use.
• Compare between multiple models and solutions and Evaluate their applicability in various conditions.
• Design and Develop models for real world complex cyber physical systems, and find ways to implement them.

Time : 4 hours

Intended Audience : Bachelors students, Masters students, Researchers, and PhD scholars in Computer Science and Engineering/ Electronics/ Robotics and Automation. Basic Knowledge on Algorithms, and optimization problems would be desirable.
