Course
Objectives: |
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) consist of interacting networks of
physical and computational elements. They typically include
sensors, communication networks, computers and actuators.
CPS are highly integrated systems that are engineered to
enhance performance and bring in new functionalities to various
domains such as transportation, energy management, healthcare,
manufacturing and agriculture. This course covers the fundamentals
of modeling, specification and analysis of CPS.

Assignments/Projects
| Assignments: |
Will be posted on the course site on Moodle. Late assignments will not be
accepted.
|
| Projects: |
- The course has two projects on design and simulation of cyber-physical systems.
- Project statements will be distributed later.
|
| MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow: |
MATLAB and Simulink are software packages for numerical computation and data
visualization. They offer programming features and graphical
user interface tools, and come with many useful toolboxes
including Control System Toolbox and Stateflow. MATLAB and Simulink are available on our computer network.
Some of the assignments and projects require the use of MATLAB and Simulink.
Details of the latest version of MATLAB and Simulink
can be found from the online help desk:
http://www.mathworks.com/help/index.html

Expectations
of Originality:
|
All assignments and project reports must comply with the
requirements of the
"Expectations of Originality" form.
This form concerns the issue of academic integrity.
The students must read and fill
out one copy of the form, and submit it to the
instructor by September 21, 2023. |
Furthermore, the students are strongly encouraged to visit
the following web page:
http://www.concordia.ca/students/academic-integrity.html.
|
Exams and Grading
| Midterm Exam:
| In class (in-person).
|
|---|
| Time: Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023, 14:45 - 16:00.
|
| No make-up test will be provided for the midterm.
|
| Grading schemes:
| | A
|
B
|
|---|
| Assignments | 10% | 10%
|
| Projects | 20% | 20%
|
| Midterm Exam | 25% | 15%
|
| Final Exam | 45% | 55%
|
| Remarks: |
- The assignment with the lowest grade will not be counted towards the
overall assignment grade.
- Obtaining at least 10/20 in project is required
for a passing grade in the course.
- Final grade = max(A,B).
