About GIAN
The Government of India approved a new program titled Global
Initiative of Academic Networks (GIAN) in Higher Education aimed at
tapping the talent pool of scientists and entrepreneurs, internationally to encourage their engagement with the institutes of Higher
Education in India so as to augment the country’s academic
resources, accelerate the pace of quality reform, and elevate India’s
scientific and technological capacity to global excellence.
Under the GIAN program lectures by internationally and
nationally renowned experts are being arranged to garner the best
international experience into our systems of education, enable
interaction of students and faculty with the best academic and
industry experts from all over the world and share their experiences
and expertise to motivate people to work on Indian problems.
Course Overview
Smart-Cyber Physical Systems (S-CPSs) are claimed to be the main
enablers of the digital transformation that is currently happening all
around the world, in particular in the framework of Industry 4.0.
However, this kind of system has enormous potential and possible
capabilities to be applied on domains other than intelligent
manufacturing and production, or as platforms for the implementation of digital twins. These other domains of applications are
collectively referred to as societal and personal applications. Typical
examples of these are traffic management, stroke rehabilitation,
greenhouse operation, foreign language education, sports
enhancement, indoor fire evacuation, airport passenger monitoring,
etc. While traditionally humans have been considered to be involved
in the operation loop of systems, the above applications enforce the
system-in-the-social/human loop concept. The developments are
rather fast with regards to both understanding the theoretical and
methodological fundamentals of designing S-CPSs for context-dependent smart operation and to the implementation practices of
the key components. Some of the examples can be such as
awareness building, situation analysis, dynamic context management, system-level reasoning, operation adaptation, adaptation
planning, status supervision, etc. There are even many more open
issues and research/development questions.
This course intends to inform the learners about the important
family of engineered systems of high future impacts, which is
represented by various generations of cyber-physical systems. The
significance comes from the fact that they are multi-actor systems
and deeply penetrating into real-life processes, as opposed to
purely industrial systems that target a very high level of self-autonomy and efficiency in production. This course is designed for a
fascinating and competitive future role as a smart system designer
and developer. Dealing with CPSs is not only exciting and fun, but it
also strengthens the position of graduate students in the international job market. To optimize the competencies of the students,
the course tries to achieve a good balance between the necessary
foundational theories and practical learning by doing.
