Workshop # 3
Control of large-scale distributed and cooperating systems: Recent achievements within the Network of Excellence HYCON2Organizer: Françoise Lamnabhi-Lagarrigue
This full day Workshop is
dedicated to recent achievements within the Network of Excellence HYCON2 on
large-scale distributed and cooperating control systems. The main goal is to
demonstrate the potential and the role of control science and technologies for facing
crucial societal challenges.
The last years have seen tremendous evolutions in the field of control of distributed and cooperating systems; from closed, isolated, and proprietary architectures, they are now becoming more and more interconnected, relying in large part on numerous standardized technologies that enable new functionalities and cost-effectiveness. Those evolutions have also introduced new vulnerabilities, which combined with a highly-evolving threat landscape have turned the new discipline merging control, computer, communication with physical, biological or medical systems into a top priority and a permanent challenge. The FP7 HYCON2 Network of Excellence - www.hycon2.eu – has been addressing key technologies for highly-complex and networked control systems, in particular large scale, distributed and cooperating systems for monitoring and control, including wireless sensor networks. HYCON2 has supported foundational multi-disciplinary research: Analysis of complex systems; Networked control systems; System-wide coordination and control; Self-organizing systems and control. Further, it covers proofs of concept, (e.g. Transportation - Ground vehicular transportation and Aerospace vehicles; Energy - Electrical power and process industries and Biological and Medical systems). HYCON2 addresses the whole chain from modelling, sensing, monitoring and actuation, to adaptive and cooperative control and decision making. The analysis and control design of these systems are essential technologies for improving robustness, safety, performance, predictability and cost of large-scale networked systems increasingly distributed and immersed in hostile environments. The goal of this HYCON2 Workshop is to demonstrate the potential and the role of control science and technologies for facing crucial societal challenges, presenting a sample of HYCON2 successes and related perspectives. The workshop contains three tutorials (i) stability and power sharing in microgrids; (ii) modeling, analysis and design over wireless networking protocols for control tasks; and (iii) modeling and analysis of population systems with applications to molecular biology. It will also feature technical talks where cross-fertilizing results from advances in foundational research to applications in the domains of transportation, energy and biological systems, will be presented. The two HYCON2 show cases (Management of a sugar factory and Traffic control in the South ring of Grenoble) will be described together with two tool demonstrations (H2T-HYCON2 Integrated Matlab Toolbox and CIF-Compositional Interchange Format) showing the functionalities of tools that have been developed in HYCON2. At the end of the workshop, future directions and challenges will be discussed. The workshop targets a wide audience of PhD students, researchers and practitioners, interested on recent achievements and perspectives on large-scale distributed and cooperating control systems.
