Logic Programming Foundations of Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are becoming ubiquitous. Almost every device today has a controller that reads inputs through sensors, does some processing and then performs actions through actuators. These controllers are discrete digital systems whose inputs are continuous physical quantities and whose outputs control physical (analog) devices. Thus, CPS involve both digital and analog data. In addition, CPS are assumed to run forever, and many CPS may run concurrently with each other. we will develop techniques for faithfully and elegantly modeling CPS. Our approach is based on using constraint logic programming over reals, co-induction, and coroutining.
