Abstract: Cyber-physical-human systems tightly integrate physical and computational components with human and social interactions. These systems form the backbone of critical sectors such as transport, energy, buildings, and industry, and are rapidly evolving with the large-scale adoption of machine learning and automation. This talk will address the challenges in modeling, analyzing, and designing controllers for such systems. It will explore how social networks within these systems can lead to emergent behaviors and enable predictable collective decisions. We will present mathematical frameworks leveraging concentration inequalities and random graph theory, which offer design trade-offs with proven accuracy. Experimental results from the KTH Live-In Lab will illustrate a holistic design approach that promotes sustainable living in smart buildings. This presentation represents collaborative work with students, postdocs, and partners in academia and industry.
