Pasargad CPS Summer School

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are the result of THE omnipresent and massive integration of connected computer systems with the physical world. As such, their design and development involves a range of disciplines from mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, to control engineering and robotics, to computer science and informatics. Our school is designed to cover a range of topics touching upon different aspects of CPS design and development for our target audience with various backgrounds. Our speakers are without exception world-renowned leading researchers with complementary expertise.

SPEAKERS

ALESSANDRO ABATE

Alessandro Abate is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford since 2013. His research interests lie on the analysis, verification, and optimal control of heterogeneous and complex dynamical models - in particular of stochastic hybrid systems - and in their applications in the life sciences and in cyber-physical systems (particularly involving energy and power networks).

WANG YI

Wang Yi is a professor of Embedded Systems at Uppsala University, since 2009. His interests are in models, algorithms and software tools for building and analyzing computer systems in a systematic manner to ensure predictable behaviors.
