Abstract: Embedded systems are a key enabling technology for the recent vast increase in functionality of a huge list of engineering applications such as avionics, automotive electronics, manufacturing systems, power networks, medical devices and transportation systems. Since these aforementioned embedded systems are special-purpose computing systems designed to perform real-time computation for interacting with the surrounding environment, the design of high-confidence embedded systems requires a deeper understanding on the nature of interactions between the computational and physical worlds. By mixing continuous and discrete models of computations, hybrid systems have been shown to be useful system-level models for the embedded systems. In this talk, we will introduce various hybrid system models and related theoretical and computational issues. Furthermore, we will focus on the development of a model-based toolchain developed for the design and analysis of embedded hybrid systems.
