Title: Dynamic Event-Triggered Distributed Coordination Control and Its Applications
Abstract
Distributed coordination control is the current trend in networked systems and finds prosperous applications across a variety of fields, such as smart grids and intelligent transportation systems. One fundamental issue in coordinating and controlling a large group of distributed and networked agents is the influence of intermittent inter-agent interactions caused by constrained communication resources. Event-triggered communication scheduling stands out as a promising enabler to strike a balance between the desired control performance and the satisfactory resource efficiency. What distinguishes dynamic event-triggered scheduling from traditional static event-triggered scheduling is that the triggering mechanism can be dynamically adjusted over time in accordance with both available system information and additional dynamic variables. This plenary talk provides an up-to-date overview of dynamic event-triggered distributed coordination control. The motivation of dynamic event-triggered scheduling is first introduced in the context of distributed coordination control. Then some techniques of dynamic event-triggered distributed coordination control are discussed in detail. Implementation and design issues are well addressed. Furthermore, this keynote talk exemplifies two applications of dynamic event-triggered distributed coordination control in the fields of microgrids and automated vehicles. Several challenges are suggested to direct the future research.

Title: Cloud-native Technologies Empower Enterprises Digital Transformation
Abstract
Cloud native technology, as a cutting-edge representation of the new era of information technology, has become the prevalent and de facto standard for digital transformation in a wide range of industries. It's a clear trend that enterprise cloudification has moved from "ON Cloud" to "IN Cloud Native”. This speech is to give audience an overall introduction of cloud native ecosystem and its core technologies, with a focus on analyzing its ultimate role in managing and scheduling underlying infrastructures and the full lifecycle management of upper-layer workloads. And some typical usage scenarios and success stories will be presented to facilitate participant to better understand how it empowers digital transformation.
