Abstract
The heart of the software in many embedded systems contain one or more control algorithms. For example, a modern car contains several hundreds of millions of lines of software code implementing various control algorithms spanning across several domains like basic functionality (engine & brake control), driver assistance , safety and comfort. However, control algorithms have traditionally been designed to optimize stability and control performance metrics like settling time or peak overshoot.
The notions of efficiency that are prevalent in Computer Science - such as efficient utilization of computation, communication and memory resources - do not feature in the list of design criteria when designing control algorithms. This is in spite of the large volume of software code implementing control algorithms in many domains, as mentioned above. It is only recently that the control theory community has focussed on designing control algorithms that efficiently utilize implementation platform resources. Such control algorithms turn out to be very different from those which were designed using approaches that were platform resource agnostic. In this talk we will discuss how a "Computer Science approach" is important for designing control algorithms and how such an approach embodies the principles of what is today referred to as cyber-physical systems design.
