Abstract:

For complex systems, the ACP approach is used to describe behaviors based on Artificial systems, to analyze based on Computational experiments, and to control based on Parallel execution. The actual benefits are gained through virtual resources that are built by artificial systems. In a similar way , the software-defined-network approach offer the availability to programming networks by separating network data plane and control plane, which makes it possible to re-construct network resources or even architectures. From engineering perspective, the artificial systems are Digital Twins or Software Defined Systems (SDS). SDS will be the key technique for the next generation of Systems Engineering (SE 5.0). Integrated with intelligent technology, the DoDAF and TOGAF architecture frameworks developed from C4ISRAF, will conveniently include the human and social factors to modeling and behavior analyzing of system processes, and flexibly cope with various Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS) problems, and easily apply parallel system technology. In other words, Systems Engineering 5.0 is a new era, when the parallel system and SDS approaches will be integrated with CPSS to synthetically deal with the complex systems, that is: SE 5.0 = ACP + CPSS + SDS

Biography:

Fei-Yue Wang (S'87–M'89–SM'94–F'03) received his Ph.D. degree in computer and systems engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA, in 1990. He joined The University of Arizona in 1990 and became a Professor and the Director of the Robotics and Automation Laboratory and the Program in Advanced Research for Complex Systems. In 1999, he founded the Intelligent Control and Systems Engineering Center at the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Beijing, China, under the support of the Outstanding Chinese Talents Program from the State Planning Council, and in 2002, was appointed as the Director of the Key Laboratory of Complex Systems and Intelligence Science, CAS. In 2011, he became the State Specially Appointed Expert and the Director of the State Key Laboratory for Management and Control of Complex Systems.

His current research focuses on methods and applications for parallel intelligence, social computing, and knowledge automation. He is a fellow of INCOSE, IFAC, ASME, and AAAS. In 2007, he received the National Prize in Natural Sciences of China and became an Outstanding Scientist of ACM for his work in intelligent control and social computing. He received the IEEE ITS Outstanding Application and Research Awards in 2009 and 2011, respectively. In 2014, he received the IEEE SMC Society Norbert Wiener Award. Since 1997, he has been serving as the General or Program Chair of over 30 IEEE, INFORMS, IFAC, ACM, and ASME conferences. He was the President of the IEEE ITS Society from 2005 to 2007, the Chinese Association for Science and Technology, USA, in 2005, the American Zhu Kezhen Education Foundation from 2007 to 2008, the Vice President of the ACM China Council from 2010 to 2011, the Vice President and the Secretary General of the Chinese Association of Automation from 2008-2018. He was the Founding Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of the International Journal of Intelligent Control and Systems from 1995 to 2000, the IEEE ITS Magazine from 2006 to 2007, the IEEE/CAA JOURNAL OF AUTOMATICA SINICA from 2014-2017, and the China's Journal of Command and Control from 2015-2020. He was the EiC of the IEEE Intelligent Systems from 2009 to 2012, the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON Intelligent Transportation Systems from 2009 to 2016, and is the EiC of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTATIONAL SOCIAL SYSTEMS since 2017, and the Founding EiC of China's Journal of Intelligent Science and Technology since 2019. Currently, he is the President of CAA's Supervision Council, IEEE Council on RFID, and Vice President of IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society.
