ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the fundamental components of the Software Development Kit (SDK) architecture developed in Daedalus and its integration in IEC-61499 paradigm, presenting the methodologies selected to face the issues related to the control of aggregated Cyber Physical System (CPS). The SDK is composed of three main parts: On-line System Identification, Online Control Modeller and Online Control Solver. The main features of aggregated Cyber Physical System (CPS) are evaluated to realize an advanced optimal control system: it exhibits, in particular, both continuous and discrete variables to represent the aggregated CPS. The investigation on orchestration of hierarchically aggregated CPS controller problems had led different needs. The term Model Predictive Control does not correspond to specific control strategy, but fairly a wide range of control methods, which use mathematical model of the process to obtain control signal by minimizing an objective function.
