Abstract: Inspired by the fast evolution of the emerging digital technologies such as Internet of Things, 5G, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, the manufacturing industry are looking for new generation automation systems that can be deployed on open, flexible, and IT-style communication and computing infrastructures. However, major technical challenges must be solved in terms of determinism before the expected benefits are achievable, especially for field level regulatory control.
In this presentation, I will share what we have done towards the vision of doing field level regulatory control over cloud and fog computing and wireless networks. I will show the significant improvements in the latency and reliability of the latest wireless technologies such as 5G and WiFi6, as well as the insufficiencies to support the real-time control tasks. More importantly, our preliminary progress suggests that, it will be much easier to solve the overall challenge if we can tune the control model according to the latency pattern of the networks.
Despite its effectiveness in our specific use case, the generalizability of the proposed “latency-aware control” or “control-computing-communication co-design” is still a big research question. I hope to trigger more discussions on this topic by this talk.
