    Study Notes

    Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)

    • CPS is a system combining computer systems and physical components.
    • Lecture 5 covers this topic.

    Chapter 3: Discrete Dynamics, State Machines

    • This chapter focuses on discrete dynamics and state machines.
    • The structure is focused on transitions, determinacy and receptiveness.

    Default Transitions

    • Default transitions follow dashed lines, and are enabled when no other transition is active and its guard condition is true.
    • The guard condition specifies the conditions for enabling a transition.

    Determinacy and Receptiveness

    • Deterministic state machines have exactly one transition enabled for each input in every state.
    • Receptiveness guarantees at least one possible transition for each input in every state.
    • This prevents a state machine from getting stuck.

    Receptiveness

    • A receptive state machine has at least one transition possible for each allowed input value in every state.
    • The update function ensures that every state and input value has a corresponding action.
    • Implicit default transitions, used in diagrams, also help machines stay receptive.

    Extended State Machines

    • Complex state machines (with many states) require more manageable formal notation.
    • Extended state machines use variables that are updated during transitions to prevent awkward graphical representations.

    Notation for General Extended State Machines

    • Variables, inputs, and outputs are explicitly declared.

    Example - Traffic Light State Machine

    • An extended state machine manages a traffic light at a pedestrian crossing.
    • It is time-triggered, reacting once per second.
    • Counts 60 seconds in the red state, then transitions to green.
    • The light stays green until a pedestrian request is detected.
    • A variable called count helps manage the time.
    • Different actions (e.g., changing the light to yellow or red) are defined on encountering special states triggered by time and/or pedestrian input.

    Behaviors and Traces

    • FSM behavior is a sequential record of inputs, states, and outputs.
    • Traces are precise records of this behaviour.
    • Computation trees visually represent all possible behavior traces.
    • FSMs help analyze behaviors, helping predict and/or avoid unsafe states.
