Cyber-Physical Systems

A new challenge for multi-disciplinary design!

The design of next generation high-tech professional systems for medical imaging, lithography, smart electricity grids, intelligent transportation, electron microscopy and high-end printing requires a tight coordination between computation, communication and control elements (the cyber part) on the one hand, and physical processes such as heating, cooling, motion, vibrations, etc. (the physical part) on the other hand.

Despite the need for integrated design of these so-called cyber-physical systems (CPS), the corresponding scientific disciplines have predominantly developed independently. This separation of disciplines can no longer be sustained and urgently needs to be bridged. This is particularly urgent at present, as our high-tech industry is currently facing challenges of (i) exponential growth in complexity, due to increasing numbers of sensor and actuators in systems, increasing performance requirements, the trend to multiprocessing, increased network connectivity, and increased dynamic interaction between systems, components and environment; (ii) increasing uncertainty, due to increasing miniaturization of electronic components, changing conditions in the physical environment, unpredictable workload variations and failures in the cyber part, and incomplete information about the properties of components and the environment they have to operate in.

To address the challenges created by the exponential increase of uncertainty and complexity, old-fashioned "separation of concerns" is in the future no longer possible. It would lead to too expensive designs, as it leads to accumulation of worst-case estimates. For cost-effective design of CPS it is necessary to cope with uncertainty early on in the design trajectory and to exploit the dynamics in the subcomponents. Simply increasing the number of design engineers is not an option, as the complexity of the overall CPS is becoming prohibitively high. Novel system architectures and systematic design paradigms are needed, to realize development trajectories that are better manageable with predictable outcomes both in time and in product quality. It is essential to embed the conceived modelling, analysis and synthesis techniques in a coherent development trajectory with proper supporting tools.

We have taken up the tremendous challenge to develop these novel paradigms and tools to simultaneously reason about the control, communication and computation components in the cyber part and the physical models of the physics part to properly handle complexity and mitigate the uncertainties of the CPS. We strongly believe that it is not the limitations on advanced computing and communication technologies that form the bottleneck in addressing these challenges, but rather the lack of multi-disciplinary and systematic system-wide design methodologies that can cope with the design complexity and uncertainty.
