21st International Workshop on Software and Compilers for Embedded Systems (SCOPES 2018)
A next edition of the workshop on Software and Compilers for Embedded Systems (SCOPES) will be organized in 2017. The workshop will feature a combination of research papers and research presentations (details see below). The papers and presentation abstracts will also be published in the ACM digital library. The workshop is held in cooperation with ACM SIGBED and EDAA.
Historically, software assurance technologies and robust fault-tolerant control (RFTC) theory were developed under different assumptions and models. The software assurance technologies are often model-based that require the profile of the physical dynamics and the observation of the system state, which may not be available when physical defects exist. On the other hand, though the existing RFTC techniques can efficiently compensate for the physical damage, it is critical to guarantee that the control software and the sensor data are not compromised.
This project is focused on the fundamental research in establishing a foundational framework towards the development of an autonomous Cyber-Physical System (CPS) through distributed computation in a Networked Control Systems (NCS) paradigm. Specific attention is focused on an application where the computational, and communication challenges are unique due to the sheer dimensionality of the physical system. An example of such CPS is the smart power grid, which includes large-scale deployment of distributed and networked Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and wind energy resources.
The goal of this project is to demonstrate that new cyber-physical architectures will enable closed-loop sensor networks to be shared among multiple applications and to dynamically allocate sensing and computing resources necessary to analyze sensor data and perform sensor actuation. The sharing of sensor network infrastructures will make the provision of data (e.g., weather information) more cost efficient and will create cyber infrastructures, which will result in a dramatic increase in the number of sensor networks available for use.
After Berkeley, Berlin, Seattle, Vienna, and Pittsburgh, we are this time in beautiful Porto, Portugal, again co-located with the annual Cyber-Physical Systems Week.
