“…We refer readers to the general survey on CPS [37] for more information. There are many similar/relevant completed (such as CONTREX [10] , MultiPARTES [13] , ASAM [38] , SCUBA [39] ) and on-going European projects (such as DREAMS [11] , EM C 2 [12] ) which are focused on many different aspects (mostly focused on the mixed-criticality application domain) of CPS. We are discussing few of them which are more relevant to our works.…”

“…It offers multicore platform based virtualisation layer over partitioned embedded platforms to separate the execution environment in multicore systems. Completed EU projects such as SCUBA also developed a CPS architecture for self-organizing, cooperative and robust building automation systems (BAS) [39] . Similarly, automatic architecture synthesis and application mapping (ASAM) targeted a uniform process for heterogeneous multicore embedded systems based on application specific instruction-set processors.…”

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are widely used in many applications that require interactions between humans and their physical environment. These systems usually integrate a set of hardware-software components for optimal application execution in terms of performance and energy consumption. The AXIOM project (Agile, eXtensible, fast I/O Module), presented in this paper, proposes a hardware-software platform for CPS coupled with an easy parallel programming model and sufficient connectivity so that the performance can scale-up by adding multiple boards. AXIOM supports a task-based programming model based on OmpSs and leverages a high-speed, inexpensive communication interface called AXIOM-Link. The board also tightly couples the CPU with reconfigurable resources to accelerate portions of the applications. As case studies, AXIOM uses smart video surveillance, and smart home living applicationsThis work is partially supported by the European Union H2020 program through the AXIOM project (grant ICT-01-2014 GA\ud 645496) and HiPEAC (GA 687698), by the Spanish Government through Programa Severo Ochoa (SEV-2015-0493), by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology through TIN2015-65316-P project, and by the Generalitat de Catalunya (contracts 2014-SGR-1051 and 2014-SGR-1272).

“…One drawback of conventional building automation systems is that they are mostly centralized [2], [3], with a PC running the building model analysis that is specifically tuned to a particular installation and the controllers on site performing close to no decisions. The reason for that is the immense variety of building types and lack of effort on the automation side to provide a more generic solution that would be usable in a large variety of applications.…”

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in large industrial or office buildings are complex systems with many data points that pose enormous challenges to engineering and control. From an engineering viewpoint, the classical, centralized approach of system design has obvious limitations in flexibility regarding later reconfigurations and layout changes during system operation. Moreover, a centralized control strategy is limited in terms of energy efficiency. Therefore, distributed schemes relying on single room controllers rather than a centralized HVAC controller are desirable. Such a scalable system setup will also facilitate engineering and re-engineering, e.g., by using a scalable function block approach. Accordingly, the actual control strategy has to rely on model-based predictive control implemented in the individual room controllers in a distributed manner. As such controllers are resource-limited devices, the models should be simple and computationally efficient, yet sufficiently accurate to represent the thermal behavior of the room together with its surroundings. This paper presents an analysis of various room models and proposes a minimumcomplexity model. Simulation-based comparison with the state of the art demonstrate no significant loss of accuracy while reducing the implementation effort by 47 percent.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are widely necessary for many applications that require interactions with the humans and the physical environment. A CPS integrates a set of hardware-software components to distribute, execute and manage its operations. The AXIOM project (Agile, eXtensible, fast I/O Module) aims at developing a hardware-software platform for CPS such that i) it can use an easy parallel programming model and ii) it can easily scale-up the performance by adding multiple boards (e.g., 1 to 10 boards can run in parallel). AXIOM supports task-based programming model based on OmpSs and leverage a high-speed, inexpensive communication interface called AXIOM-Link. Another key aspect is that the board provides programmable logic (FPGA) to accelerate portions of an application. We are using smart video surveillance, and smart home living applications to drive our design
