INF9910CPS - Cyber physical systems

Course content

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) is an engineering discipline and specifies the integrations of and interaction between computation and physical processes. CPS integrates the dynamics of the physical processes with those of the communications, computation and networking, and analysis techniques for the integrated systems. Applications of CPS include traffic control and safety, advanced automotive systems, intelligent buildings, environment monitoring, smart energy management and many more.
This research-oriented seminar explores state-of-the art principles, methods, and techniques for devising cyber physical systems. The seminars covers

• Cyber physical systems and computing: architectural and infrastructural principles
• Wireless sensor networks: architectures, protocols and techniques
• Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) key components and systems
• Internet of Things (IoT) for pervasive computing

Specific seminar topics include

• Routing in wireless sensor networks
• Medium access control in wireless sensor networks
• Localization in wireless/mobile sensor networks
• Data aggregation and fusion in wireless sensor networks
• Clustering schemes in wireless sensor networks
• Anti-collision mechanisms and medium access protocols in RFID systems
• Interplay sensing and actuators in cyber physical system
• Context aware emerging applications and services in IoT
• Optimization and analysis approach in protocols performance evaluation

Learning outcomes

The seminar provides students with a basic understanding of state-of-the-art in the area of cyber physical systems.
