Optimization and management of cyber-physical systems
Bingnan Jiang · 2015
In cyber-physical systems (CPS), the bi-directional link between computational and physical elements can significantly increase the efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of CPS. A precursor generation of CPS can be found in diverse applications, where smart gird and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are two exemplary vibrant applications. Compared with traditional power distribution systems and gasoline fueled vehicles, smart grid and PHEVs have much lower cost, higher service provision, and make the environment greener. However, it is challenging to manage the operations of CPS optimally, in view of system complexity, interaction between cyber and physical components and the environment, limited computation resources, and high real-time performance requirement.
