The objective of this research is to develop methods for the operation and design of cyber physical systems in general, and energy efficient buildings in particular. The approach is to use an integrated framework: create models of complex systems from data; then design the associated sensing-communication-computation-control system; and finally create distributed estimation and control algorithms, along with execution platforms to implement these algorithms. A special emphasis is placed on adaptation. In particular, buildings and their environments change with time, as does the way in which buildings are used. The system must be designed to detect and respond to such changes. The proposed research brings together ideas from control theory, dynamical systems, stochastic processes, and embedded systems to address design and operation of complex cyber physical systems that were previously thought to be intractable. These approaches provide qualitative understanding of system behavior, algorithms for control, and their implementation in a networked execution platform. Insights gained by the application of model reduction and adaptation techniques will lead to significant developments in the underlying theory of modeling and control of complex systems.The research is expected to directly impact US industry through the development of integrated software-hardware solutions for smart buildings. Collaborations with United Technologies Research Center are planned to enhance this impact. The techniques developed are expected to apply to other complex cyber-physical systems with uncertain dynamics, such as the electric power grid. The project will enhance engineering education through the introduction of cross-disciplinary courses.

本研究的目的是开发一般信息物理系统，特别是节能建筑的操作和设计方法。 该方法是使用集成框架：根据数据创建复杂系统的模型；然后设计相关的传感、通信、计算、控制系统；最后创建分布式估计和控制算法，以及实现这些算法的执行平台。特别强调适应。 特别是，建筑物及其环境随着时间而变化，建筑物的使用方式也在变化。系统的设计必须能够检测并响应此类变化。拟议的研究汇集了控制理论、动力系统、随机过程和嵌入式系统的思想，以解决以前被认为难以处理的复杂网络物理系统的设计和操作。这些方法提供了对系统行为、控制算法及其在网络执行平台中的实现的定性理解。通过应用模型简化和适应技术获得的见解将导致复杂系统建模和控制的基础理论的重大发展。这项研究预计将通过开发智能建筑的集成软硬件解决方案来直接影响美国工业。计划与联合技术研究中心合作以增强这种影响。所开发的技术预计将适用于其他具有不确定动态的复杂网络物理系统，例如电网。该项目将通过引入跨学科课程来加强工程教育。
