The wide applications of cyber-physical systems (CPS)
call for effective design strategies that optimize the performance
of both computing units and physical plants. We
study the task scheduling problem for a class of CPS whose
behaviors are regulated by feedback control laws. We codesign
the control law and the task scheduling algorithm for
predictable performance and power consumption for both
the computing and the physical systems. We use a typical
example, multiple inverted pendulums controlled by one
processor, to illustrate our method.
