Cyber-Physical Programming
2022/23
Introduction and objectives
Welcome to the webpage of the module “Cyber-Physical Programming”, edition 2022/2023.
Cyber-physical systems are networks of computational devices that closely interact with physical processes in order to reach a prescribed goal; for example a desired velocity, a desired temperature or, more generally, a desired energy level. They range from small medical devices, such as pacemakers and insulin pumps, to networks of autonomous vehicles and district-wide smart grids. This module is devoted to such systems.
The main learning goal is two-fold: 1) to prepare the student to a disciplined way of developing and analysing cyber-physical systems, by presenting their basic principles, adequate models of computation, and respective tools; 2) and to introduce the student to the main limitations of the area’s state-of-the-art – via pedagogical illustrations extracted from real world-scenarios involving e.g. cruise controllers, sampling algorithms, and timed variants of concurrent algorithms.
At the end of the module, the student will:
- know the basic principles and representative models of cyber-physical computation;
- have a broad knowledge of languages, tools, and techniques for engineering cyber-physical systems;
- be proficient with the tools Uppaal and Lince, which cover model checking, testing, and simulation for cyber-physical systems;
- be able to understand in which ways the state-of-the-art (of cyber-physical computation and engineering) is limited, and the potential outcomes of solving these limitations.
Syllabus
- Labelled transition systems, their role as semantic objects, and corresponding notions of equivalence;
- Timed labelled transition systems and corresponding notions of equivalence, composition, and synchronisation. Zeno behaviour;
- From theory to practice: the tool Uppaal;
- A while-language and its operational semantics;
- A hybrid while-language and its operational semantics;
- From theory to practice: the tool Lince;
- Cyber-physical behaviour as yet another computational effect: the notion of a monad, the hybrid monad, and monad combination.
