SUMMARY:Fall 2024 GRASP SFI: Gioele Zardini\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, “Compositional Design of Complex Systems: From Autonomy to Future Mobility”
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will start at 3:30 PM instead of 3:00. This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. \nABSTRACT\nWhen designing complex systems\, we need to consider multiple trade-offs at various abstraction levels and scales\, and choices of single components need to be studied jointly. For instance\, the design of future mobility solutions (e.g.\, autonomous vehicles\, micromobility) and the design of the mobility systems they enable are closely coupled. Indeed\, knowledge about the intended service of novel mobility solutions would impact their design and deployment process\, while insights about their technological development could significantly affect transportation management policies. Optimally co-designing sociotechnical systems is a complex task for at least two reasons. On one hand\, the co-design of interconnected systems (e.g.\, large networks of cyber-physical systems) involves the simultaneous choice of components arising from heterogeneous natures (e.g.\, hardware vs. software parts) and fields\, while satisfying systemic constraints and accounting for multiple objectives. On the other hand\, components are connected via collaborative and conflicting interactions between different stakeholders (e.g.\, within an intermodal mobility system). In this talk\, I will present a framework to co-design complex systems\, leveraging a monotone theory of co-design and tools from game theory. The framework will be instantiated in the task of designing future mobility systems\, all the way from the policies that a city can design\, to the autonomy of vehicles as part of an autonomous mobility-on-demand service. Through various case studies\, I will show how the proposed approaches allow one to efficiently answer heterogeneous questions\, unifying different modeling techniques and promoting interdisciplinarity\, modularity\, and compositionality. I will then discuss open challenges for compositional systems design optimization\, and present my agenda to tackle them.
