Research Unit Cyber-Physical Systems

  • E191-01
  • A research unit of the Institute of Computer Engineering

Our research unit was founded in 2012 as the successor of the world-renowned Real-Time-Systems group (RTS), then led by Prof. Hermann Kopetz. Today, we are laying out the foundations and design-blueprints for the next generation of ES, the networked ES, also known as Cyber-Physical Systems.

About

Our research unit was founded in 2012 as the successor of the world-renowned Real-Time-Systems group (RTS), then led by Prof. Hermann Kopetz. Today, we are laying out the foundations and design-blueprints for the next generation of ES, the networked ES, also known as Cyber-Physical Systems.

In such systems, time also interacts with space, energy, and uncertainty. Our main focus, therefore, lies on specification (e.g. spatial-temporal logics), design (e.g. probabilistic hybrid systems), analysis (e.g. symbolic and stochastic model checking), and control (e.g. PID, supervisory, and optimal) of this richer class of CPS’ behaviors.

The international impact of the RTS/CPS group on science and technology is documented by a large number of projects and the foundation of a company, TTTech. Current projects include, for example, Cyber Heart (NSF), Arrive (USA-AFOSR), CPS Summit (EU Horizon 2020), EMC2 (EU Artemis-JU, AT-FFG), Amadeos (EU FP7), Harmonia (AT FFG).
