Synopsis

As systems continue to evolve they rely less on human decision-making and more on computational intelligence. This trend in conjunction with the available technologies for providing advanced sensing, measurement, process control, and communication lead towards the new field of the Cyber-Physical System (CPS). Cyber-Physical systems are expected to play a major role in the design and development of future engineering platforms with new capabilities that far exceed today's levels of autonomy, functionality and usability. Although these systems exhibit remarkable characteristics, their design and implementation is a challenging issue, as numerous (heterogeneous) components and services have to be appropriately modeled and simulated together. The problem of designing efficient CPS becomes far more challenging in case the target system has to meet also real-time constraints.

Cyber-Physical Systems: Decision Making Mechanisms and Applications describes essential theory, recent research and large-scale user cases that addresses urgent challenges in CPS architectures. In particular, it includes chapters on:

• Decision making for large scale CPS

• Modeling of CPS with emphasis at the control mechanisms

• Hardware/software implementation of the control mechanisms

• Fault-tolerant and reliability issues for the control mechanisms

• Cyber-Physical user-cases that incorporate challenging decision making

He is leader and principal investigator in numerous research projects (>45) funded from the European Commission, ENIAC-JU, European Space Agency and the Greek Government and Industry. He served as General Chair and Program Chair for PATMOS and General Chair of IFIP-VLSI-SOC 2008, PARMA 2011 & 2013 Workshop, SAMOS 2015, HiPEAC CSW 2014. He received an award from INTEL and IBM for the project results of LPGD #25256 and awards from Int. Conf. VLSI 2005 and ASP-DAC 05 for the results of the project AMDREL IST-2001-34379 and recently the HiPEAC Award for a DAC '10 paper for the project MNEMEE FP7-216224 and DAC '13 for the project ENIAC-TOISE-282557-2.

Elias Kosmatopoulos received the Diploma, M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Technical University of Crete, Greece, in 1990, 1992, and 1995, respectively. He is currently a Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Democritus University of Thrace, Xanthi, Greece. Previously, he was a faculty member of the Department of Production Engineering and Management, Technical University of Crete (TUC), Greece, a Research Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering Systems, University of Southern California (USC) and a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Victoria, B.C., Canada. Dr. Kosmatopoulos' research interests are in the areas of adaptive optimization and control, IoT and Cyper-Physical Systems and their applications to energy efficient buildings, smart grids, robotics and intelligent transportation systems. He is the author of over 55 journal papers. He serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Trans. on Intelligent Transportation Systems. He has been leading many research projects funded by the European Union with a total budget of about 20 Million Euros.
