报告摘要：
The big efforts from industries towards the Internet of Things, Services and People (IoTSP) and Industry4.0 are driving the evolution of design pidgin form the IoT and automation pyramid to the so-called Cyber Physical Systems. Today, we have seen some pre-cursor CPS examples in the areas like space, avionics, automotive, chemical processes, civil infrastructure, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, entertainment, and consumer appliances. Despite the diversity of specific solutions, the primary shared feature is the tight combination of computation, networking, and physical processes. In CPY, computational elements monitor and control the physical elements through high performance networks with feedback loops where physical processes affect computations and vice versa.
To delivery enough business values, the CPS solutions have to provide real-time, reliable and deterministic computation and communication to effectively control the physical loops with short time constant. Additionally, we have to apply more complicated AI (artificial intelligence) algorithms for sufficient smartness, deploy the solution through cloud to cover highly distributed facilities, and adopt wireless communications to reach mobile objects and harsh environments. All these requirements are pulling the evolution from conventional CPY to the Real Time CPS (RT-CPS), which is motivating the emerging technologies like edge computing, 1-ms internet, hard real time wireless communications, centimeter level indoor localization, etc. In this presentation, I will overview the detailed requirements and challenges by practical use cases of RT-CPS in process industry, factory automation, cloud robotics, smart buildings, and power systems. The latest progresses on wireless communications with ultra-high performances e.g. Gbps level data rate and sub-us level latency, will be introduced as well.
