Mitigating Computational Constraints via Adaptive Control and Resource Allocation Co-design*

Abstract

Most engineering systems of today involve physics and computing systems for their operation. These cyber-physical systems (CPS) exchange data of different nature (analog, digital, etc.) and dimension (small data packets, video streams, etc.) between its components [1], [5]. The resources required for the processing of the data and for making decisions change over time. One size fits all type of solutions are not adequate, as they lead to a costly, oversized system that is not necessarily tailored to the application at hand.
