- CPS integrates computation with physical processes across various industries such as automotive, telecommunications, and military systems.
- Instructors include Amr Alanwar, Ahmad Hafez, Yiğit İlk, and Dias Altay.
Course Structure
- Duration is 14 weeks with a concurrent reading of three threads.
- Weekly exercises released every Tuesday, with submissions due the following Tuesday.
- Tutorials scheduled for Wednesdays, first tutorial starting in the third week.
Grading Breakdown
- Final exam contributes 40% to the overall grade.
- Project accounts for another 40%.
- Assignments make up the remaining 20%.
Course Project
- Project is a crucial part of the course, requiring self-organization and topic selection by teams of 5-6 students.
- Prior experience indicates project proposals can be complex and require good management skills.
Practical Examples
- Examples of previous projects include biomimetic robots, autonomous flight solutions, and distributed music systems.
- A notable project involved a balancing robot using a Nintendo Wiimote communicated with a PC via LabVIEW.
Learning Focus
- Students are encouraged to seek resources online but must provide appropriate attribution.
- Projects should extend beyond existing resources and apply core concepts from the course.
Modeling, Design, and Analysis Process
- Modeling aids in understanding systems through imitation, while design structures artifact creation and specifies operation methods.
- Analysis dissects systems to reveal their functionality and potential failures.
Actor Models
- Continuous-time systems can be modeled using actor models, characterized by input and output functionalities.
- Actor models enable cascade compositions, allowing for more complex system representations.
Key Concepts in State Machines
- State machines consist of discrete states, with size determined by the number of states and variables' values.
- Nondeterminism occurs when multiple transitions can occur from a single state, influencing state machine behavior.
Formal Models
- Nondeterministic Finite State Machines (FSM) are represented as a five-tuple, capturing the essence of multiple outputs from current states.
- Understanding the powerset concept is essential as it pertains to the possible updates in nondeterministic systems.
Encouragement to Engage
- Students are urged to form project teams early to kickstart their planning and execution processes.
