Vision
Complex, hierarchical and large-scale dynamical systems are in the focal center of many new applications in the area of power systems, process control, electric vehicles and aerospace industry. Such applications relate to the growing popularity of online system identification at component-level and system-level, analysis of large complex networks’ data sets, the problems that arise from the interactions among nodes in complex networks such as asynchronization, out-of-sequence measurements and communication-delays.
In the light of aforementioned applications, many of the current challenges in science and engineering are related to complex and large-scale dynamical architectures. These challenges may involve modeling of the interactions of nodes in the system, handling large information data sets collected from variable sources, statistical inference driven from those data sets, design of efficient networks and architectures to handle that information, and designing efficient mechanisms and procedures for analysis leading to decision systems.
Considering these challenges, the vision of this platform is to analyze these complex systems and provide solutions to ensure full observability and accurate handling of their latent parameters. A summary of this vision is shown in Figure 1.
