Adaft: A Resource-Efficient Framework For Adaptive Fault-Tolerance In Cyber-Physical Systems, Ye Xu
Doctoral Dissertations
Cyber-physical systems frequently have to use massive redundancy to meet application requirements for high reliability. While such redundancy is required, it can be activated adaptively, based on the current state of the controlled plant. Most of the time the physical plant is in a state that allows for a lower level of fault-tolerance. Avoiding the continuous deployment of massive fault-tolerance will greatly reduce the workload of CPSs. In this dissertation, we demonstrate a software simulation framework (AdaFT) that can automatically generate the sub-spaces within which our adaptive fault-tolerance can be applied. We also show the theoretical benefits of AdaFT, and …

The development of model reduction techniques for physical systems modeled by partial differential equations (PDEs) has been a very active research area. Large number of states is needed to accurately capture the dynamics of such systems which makes them unsuitable for control design. The order of the system must be reduced prior to control design. In this dissertation, new methods that generalize the popular proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to nonlinear PDEs are investigated. In particular, cluster based POD algorithms are developed and applied to the one and two dimensional Burgers equations that govern a nonlinear convective ow. Each cluster contains …
