Dr. Marilyn Wolf, Rhesa S. “Ray” Farmer, Jr., Distinguished Chair in Embedded Computing Systems at the Georgia Institute of Technology, will speak on Tuesday, Jan. 24 as part of the CSE Colloquium Series. Her talk, "Service-Oriented Architectures for Safe and Secure Cyber-Physical and IoT Systems" will begin at 4 p.m. in Avery 115 and will be preceded by a reception at 3:30 p.m. in Avery 348.

Abstract: Service-oriented architectures are widely used in information processing and Web technologies to provide scalable access to resources in distributed systems and extensible applications. However, many traditional service-oriented architectures are designed for transaction processing. In contrast, cyber-physical systems used for real-time control require quality-of-service constraints and graceful handling of failures to provide requested services. Our group is developing extended service-oriented models for use in smart energy grids and other applications. We will describe our work in service-oriented architectures, including model-based design and simulation. We will motivate discuss safety and security in cyber-physical systems and discuss how service-oriented architectures fit into the methodologies required to deliver safe and secure cyber-physical and IoT systems.
