Subsystem Based Structure

Subsystem-based structure focuses on decomposing complex systems into smaller, manageable units to improve analysis, control, and simulation. Current research emphasizes developing efficient algorithms, such as ADMM, to coordinate these subsystems, particularly in applications like multibody physics simulation and distributed model predictive control. This approach offers advantages in scalability, parallelization, and handling high-dimensional problems, impacting fields ranging from automated driving safety systems to smart building energy management and industrial inspection. The effectiveness of redundancy within subsystem architectures for improving reliability and reducing testing needs is also under active investigation.
