Logical Foundations of Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-physical systems
(CPSs) combine cyber capabilities, such as computation or communication, with
physical capabilities, such as motion or other physical processes. Cars,
aircraft, and robots are prime examples, because they move physically in space
in a way that is determined by discrete computerized control algorithms.
Designing these algorithms is challenging due to their tight coupling with
physical behavior, while it is vital that these algorithms be correct because
we rely on them for safety-critical tasks.

This textbook teaches
undergraduate students the core principles behind CPSs. It shows them how to
develop models and controls; identify safety specifications and critical
properties; reason rigorously about CPS models; leverage multi-dynamical
systems compositionality to tame CPS complexity; identify required control
constraints; verify CPS models of appropriate scale in logic; and develop an
intuition for operational effects.
