Industrial CPS over Wireless Networks: Performance, Design, Inference, Control

Abstract

Practical implementations of Industrial Cyber Physical Systems will typically involve substantial wireless networking, due to ease of deployment, retrofitting, expansion, and reconfiguration. The wireless platform will be the Internet of Things, based on existing wireless networking standards (e.g., IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15.4) or proprietary wireless technologies. Unlike the use of in-building wireless networks for Internet access, IoT networks for Industrial CPS applications will need to be designed for desired levels of performance. In this talk, after introducing the topic, we will provide insights into the performance of commonly used indoor wireless technologies for IoT, the design of IoT networks, and also glimpses of issues in inference and control over such networks.
