Multi-paradigm design space exploration for advanced cyber-physical systems

As cyber-physical systems become more complex, the engineering domains involved in their design become more intertwined. In these situations, an integrated design approach is needed, where parameters in the different domains must be considered and evaluated together to ensure an efficient deployment. However, in such an approach, the design space expands dramatically. As such, methods that allow engineers from different domains to reason about cross-domain relationships are needed to derive an efficient design-space exploration (DSE) strategy. The goal of our research is to enable the concurrent design and optimization of the embedded control of the next-generation cyber-physical systems. To achieve this, we make use of ontologies to explicitly model and capture domain knowledge. By reasoning about the problem as a whole, using these ontologies, we can derive an efficient design space exploration process where we make use of different DSE techniques to solve smaller sub-problems over the different domains.
