One of the important features of modern CPSs is their ability to adapt to changing conditions. To address this need for adaptation\, the present ation introduces the concept of a reconfigurable cyber-physical system (RC PS). The term “reconfigurable” refers to CPSs in which the control par t (the “cyber” component) is implemented in FPGA device\, enabling the use of dynamic partial reconfiguration to modify part of the control algo rithm on the fly\, without shutting down the system. To enable such reconf iguration\, an appropriate behavioral model based on UML State Machines is developed\, with the static and reconfigurable parts identified and the s o-called “safety states” defined. The presentation will discuss a comp lete design workflow covering all these aspects—from defining the requir ements of a RCPS\, through its modeling and specification\, to hardware-ba sed validation of the resulting system. The proposed solution follows a Mo del-Driven Development (MDD) approach and is based on model transformation s performed in accordance with the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA).\n\nBio : Grzegorz Bazydło was born in 1978 in Zielona Góra\, Poland. He obtaine d his B.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from the Technical University o f Zielona Góra in 2001\, and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Scie nce from the University of Zielona Góra (UZ) in 2003 and 2010\, respectiv ely. He currently works as an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Cont rol & Computation Engineering (UZ). He is a member of the Polish Committee for Standardization (Technical Committee 182 for Information Protection i n ICT Systems)\, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IE EE)\, where he is a Senior Member\, and the Information and Communication Technology Discipline Council at the University of Zielona Góra. He also serves as an Associate Editor of the prestigious journal IEEE Transactions on Systems\, Man\, and Cybernetics: Systems. His research focuses on the design of cyber-physical systems\, including their modeling\, analysis\, a nd implementation. In particular\, he is interested in modeling the contro l part of reconfigurable CPSs using graphical methods and languages\, such as UML State Machine diagrams\, Petri nets\, and the Lingua Franca langua ge. In 2022\, he completed a research internship under the supervision of Prof. Edward A. Lee\, a leading expert in cyber-physical systems design\, at the University of California\, Berkeley. He has published more than 60 scientific works\, including a postdoctoral monograph and more than 20 jou rnal papers and book chapters. Outside of work\, he is an active sports en thusiast\, especially jogging. He has also been involved in scouting for m ore than 30 years as a member and instructor of the Polish Scouting and Gu iding Association (ZHP)\, and teaches first aid courses for young people. In 2007\, he obtained the professional title of paramedic and earned a bac helor's degree from the Faculty of Public Health at Wrocław Medical Unive rsity.\n\nPlease contact this seminar’s host (esp. if you need a free vi sitor’s parking slot at Lot 7 of NJIT): Mengchu Zhou\, Ph.D. & Dist.
