SENSE - Semantics-based Explanation of Cyber-physical Systems

Project Details

Description

Transportation systems, smart buildings, factories and energy grids are all highly complex, dynamic systems that span the physical, digital and human spheres and are therefore called Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). It is estimated that such critical infrastructures cause about 70% of Austria’s green-house gas emissions.

Indeed, as CPSs are becoming increasingly complex and dynamic, their transparency, in terms of why certain system events happen, diminishes. This hampers (technical) system operators in running the system safely and economically efficiently and also reduces user-friendliness.

The SENSE project focuses on creating Explainable Cyber-Physical Sytems (ExpCPS) in which system events can be explained to a range of interested stakeholders. The prohect hypothesis is that explanations of CPS events could improve their transparency, contributing to increased efficiency and user-friendliness and impacting environmental sustainability.
