Computation-Aware Algorithmic Design for Cyber-physical Systems

Chapters are written by both researchers and practitioners and cover such topics as 

• analysis and design of uncertain CPSs, 
• cooperative and non-cooperative paradigms for handling complexity in large scale CPSs,
• task-relevant environment abstractions for autonomous systems based on information theory,
• information flow in event-based stabilization of CPSs,
• set-valued model predictive control, and
• automated synthesis of certifiable controllers for CPSs.

She has been active in the IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS), the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and has been involved in the organization of conferences and in the editorial boards of leading journals in control. Among her activities, she was Vice-President for Conferences for IFAC (2020-23) and the IEEE CSS (2016 and 2017), and a member of ACM SIGBED Board of Directors (2019-21). Currently, she is IFAC President-elect for the triennium 2023-26, Associate Editor of the IFAC journal Automatica and of the IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems, and General Chair of the 2024 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control. . 

In 2017, she was August-Wilhelm Scheer Visiting Professor and Honorary fellow of the TUM Institute for Advanced Studies. She is Visiting Professor in Engineering at the University of Oxford for the triennium 2022-2025. She is Distinguished Member of the IEEE Control Systems Society and Fellow of the IEEE. 

Her research interests include stochastic hybrid systems, distributed and data-driven optimization, multi-agent systems, and application of control theory  to transportation and energy systems.  

Ricardo Sanfelice is Professor and Department Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz.  After academic stops at UC Santa Barbara, MIT, École de Mines de Paris, and University of Arizona, he joined the Baskin School of Engineering in 2014, where he leads the Hybrid Systems Lab at UCSC.
