Speaker: Prof Xiaodong Liu, Edinburgh Napier University
Host: Prof. Chi-Sheng (Daniel) Shih
Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) are the three key pillars of the next generation cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) refer to novel hardware and software compositions creating smart, autonomously acting devices, enabling efficient end-to-end workflows and new forms of user-machine interaction. This talk will firstly present the key challenges that the future IoT-based systems are facing and then discuss the possible solutions and the critical technologies that need to be involved.
As a case study, we are going to discuss a new generation of resilient Cyber Physical Systems, namely Context-Active Resilient CPS, which we developed recently. Context-Active Resilience is a new level of resilience, which has not been targeted by previous work. We aim to develop a novel approach to context-active resilience in CPS, which ensures the best matching and optimal functions and QoS of the CPS in real-time during the running of the CPS.
