IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Co-design of Communication, Computing, and Control in Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems
Call for Papers
-------------------
Cloud-Fog Automation is a newly proposed digitalized industrial automation architecture enabled by next-generation communications, which represents a fundamental paradigm shift from the traditional ISA-95 model. The overarching goal is to accelerate the convergence and synergy of communications, computing, and control towards next-generation industrial cyber-physical systems. It is a network-centric architecture, where cloud and fog technologies are leveraged collaboratively to achieve determinism in connectivity, networked computing, and intelligent networked control. Consequently, industrial applications can be realized independent of vendor-specific hardware and software, and further provided as a service with varying degrees of technical and infrastructural requirements, translating into significant business benefits. With the deployment of new wireless technologies to empower almost-deterministic ultra-reliable low-latency communications, a joint design of optimal control and resource management techniques is emerging for time-critical industrial cyber-physical systems, and it is also imperative that functional safety and security of such systems are not compromised. Another focus will be on system-wide/application-level performance, driven by “goal-oriented communication” in the underlying communication technologies. There are currently many open research challenges to enable Cloud-Fog Automation, therefore, a deliberate rethink and research in co-designing and synergizing communications, computing, and control is required. Specifically, research in deterministic industrial networking, computing virtualization, and networked control/estimation for time-sensitive cyber-physical systems will open many potential avenues for novel applications, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI)-empowered digital twins, industrial robots, virtual and augmented reality in advanced manufacturing, and so forth.
This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for the latest advances in industrial communications, computing and control co-design, and endeavors to promote research, innovations, and applications to bridge the gap between theory and applications. We solicit high-quality original research papers on topics including, but not limited to:
- Novel design metrics and optimization methodologies for communication, computing, and control co-design in next-generation industrial cyber-physical systems with Cloud-Fog Automation
- Co-design of new industrial wireless technologies with industrial control systems and computing frameworks using cross-layer optimization techniques
- Co-design of network softwarization architectures with control and computing requirements embedded for interoperability, heterogeneity, reproducibility and scalability
- Co-design of virtualization technologies tightly coupled with communication stacks and control applications using optimal network scheduling and intelligent control algorithms
- Co-design of communication and computing approaches for ensuring functional safety and creating cyber-secure control systems
- Co-design of communication, computing, and control paradigms for efficient resource orchestration, sharing, service provisioning and management
- Clean-slate designs of wireless networked control systems that are natively supported by industrial communications and computing architectures with robust performance
- Tight integration of security and privacy-preserving solutions across communications, computing, and control domains for system integrity
