A Cyber-Physical System (sometimes also called hybrid system) is composed of physical subsystems and software subsystems. Many Cyber-Physical Systems are indeed control systems: the software part is designed to control the physical part, so that some desired behavior is achieved. Applications of such Cyber-Physical Control Systems are ubiquitous: smart grids, electrical engineering, aerospace, automotive, biology, and so on.
Recently, many methodologies have been presented on automatically synthesizing controllers for Cyber-Physical Systems. Such methodologies take as input a description of the physical part (plant) of a Cyber-Physical Control System, a set of requirements for the software part (controller), a set of desired behaviors for the closed-loop system (controller + plant), and output the actual software for the controller, which is guaranteed to meet all given specifications.
In this talk, I will present a selection of such methodologies, mainly focusing on my own contributions.
