Abstract: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) promise to change how we study and interact with physical world. CPS use sensors and actuators connected to an autonomic cyberinfrastructure. A key requirement for having dependable CPS is the correct calibration of their sensors. Unfortunately, the current state of the art is to calibrate sensors in laboratories, often manually. Moreover, commodity sensor precision degrades over time.  Consequently, sensors must be periodically recalibrated.

Abstract: The main goal of this project is to lay down the foundations of a novel approach based on opportunistic statetriggered aperiodic control for networked cyberphysical systems that leverages their cooperative nature. Most networked controllers are not implementable over embedded digital computer systems because they rely on continuous time or synchronous executions that are costly to enforce.
