  43. Complex control systems Complexity raising in controllers Exystence Workshop / R.Sanz / Torino 2003

  44. Software Control Context • Control systems do perform a dynamical interaction with real world entities (they are closed loop systems). • Their complexity can range from a simple thermostat or pacemaker to an Airbus AFCS or a country-wide energy management system. • Control systems do pose problems of wider and deeper scope than most other software systems: • e.g. distribution, hard real-time behavior, fault-tolerance, embedded, long life-span (10-40 years), model-based construction, formal verification, scalability, dependable systems of systems, complexity, etc. Exystence Workshop / R.Sanz / Torino 2003

  45. Complex Control Systems • Control systems are software-intensive applications that are becoming extremely complex as new functionality is required from them. • Emergent complexity is a major engineering challenge as embedded distributed systems technology raises massive concurrency and interaction issues • Control systems complexity is of HOT type more than SOC type Exystence Workshop / R.Sanz / Torino 2003
