Co-design of Control and Real-Time Computing: Perspectives, Techniques and Research Directions

10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Room: 608

To harness the promise of Cyber-Physical Systems fully, the existing design paradigms (e.g., control theory, network theory and distributed processing) need to be integrated. This minisymposium aims to bring together researchers working towards developing a unified theory that integrates process control, real-time computing, and control of computer systems. In particular, topics related to real time control, event driven control, control of computer systems and software stability control will be covered. We have chosen four leaders in the field with complementary expertise. We have also ensured that a good discussion of open problems is provided, so that the mini-symposium is especially useful to graduate students and post doctoral researchers.
