AOE5984: Cyber-Physical Systems and Distributed Control, Spring 2017

Cource Description

In this course, we will review several recent advancements in cyber-physical systems and distributed control. Topics will include core principles of CPS, differential equations to model physical processes, graph theory and CPS communication structures, examples with single and double integrator dynamics, time varying structures and matrix analysis of graphs, control loops in CPS, cooperative optimal control, cooperative adaptive control, game theoretic frameworks for secure cooperative control, control and estimation over lossy and attacked networks, intrusion and fault detection in CPS, differential and temporal logic for safety of execution, machine learning in CPS.
